Day 27 - Still Having Fever

I can't believe how negligent the nurses are. They do not bother to check on Dad eventhough he has a high fever. Thank goodness Shereen's parents were there to inform the nurses. Plus, they gave them an earful as well.

Dad almost seems delirious when he speaks to us. We ask him something and he rambles on about something else. It is quite disturbing but I spoke to the doctor in charge and he said that the delirium is most likely caused by the high fever and that it is nothing we should be worried about. Daddy's fine when he doesn't have the fever but when the fever does strike, he just lies in bed, so motionless and so lifeless.

They think that it could be a bacterial infection or a virus. But if it is a virus, that would mean that we too would have it as we've been in close proximity to Dad. He spoke about collecting a culture... bacteria culture... The antibiotics that Daddy's on is not effective so they want to, by process of elimination, figure out what type of bacteria it is, then administer the right antibiotics. Does that make sense? I hope so.
