ACCOZZAGLIA

my dad was in ICU last night following a surgical procedure he underwent Thursday for his soft palate. complications arose and his blood pressure rocketed. apparently, it didn’t help that he might have been exposed to streptococcus from my nephew, who is sick with strep throat. physicians didn’t relay this to my step-mother, who was under the belief that he was in recovery. they “lost” him for about four hours, claiming they didn’t know where he was — until, later, she pressed them for an answer.

he is home now, but he’s ramped up on some intense antibiotics and is resting.
