He's back in ICU!!!! Made it to the graduation and the Dr. had prescribed him a med he shouldn't have and he went into a coma!! He gave him a diabetes med and Dad doesn't have diabetes!!!!!! Just got back from the hospital and he is doing better except his kidneys are not functioning properly........waiting for word on what the next steps are!!

Wow, there's a medical mistake. That sounds like a law suit to me.

Wishing your Dad the best Mike.

Mike, that's awful to have such a tragic setback and to have it come from a doctor's screwup just makes it worse! We're all still praying for your Dad to come through this okay.

Update:

This Saturday I was at the hospital with Dad when the oncologist came in. Dad has cancer...Hodgkins Lymphoma.
It was sort of a good bad news situation. The Dr. said it is probably the cause of everything that is going on and the reason why he wasn't getting better. Now that we know what it is, treatment can begin immediatley and he was confident we could see positive improvement immediatley.
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers to date, they have helped so keep them coming as Dad's treatment begins.
