Hello, after some quick ish advice if anyone has experience of this. My mums husband who is 71 was admitted to hospital on Sat with severe diverticulitis. Stomach cramps started on the Wednesday, on Thursday the doctor diagnosed and prescribed oral antibiotics and wait. By Sat he was in severe pain and vomiting blood hourly. He is also a diabetic so not eating messed up his blood sugars and led to heart irregularities. 111 advised they'd send a paramedic, 10hrs later they ended up taking him to hospital by ambulance. He spent the weekend in A&E majors. He was taken to a ward Monday and put on IV anti-biotics, insulin drip, anti-sickness meds, and tramadol. CT scans flagged a second issue of a mass on his kidney. The consultant urologist hasn't yet looked at the scans. The ward he is on are now saying that they have treated the diverticulitis for now and are discharging him in the next few hours with oral anti-biotics. He hasn't eaten or kept water down since Weds. The longest he's gone without vomiting is a few hours. He is still in severe pain and not fully lucid. They say he'll be more comfortable at home and they won't take further action until the consultant urologist advises on the kidney scan. Luckily my mum is 10yrs younger and can advocate for him and care for him at home, she's insisted she wants a discharge papers and a plan before she will take him. Are we doing everything we should be here? I can't see how he won't end up back in hospital in a few days, in a worse state than now!
