I gotta just mention this as we have been discussing unfortunate names.

Called in in my parents in way home. Dad was watching a snooker game and one of the fellas was called Trump!!!!

I kid you not. Google if you don't believe me. Hope his name didn't begin with an I such as Ian. Imagine filling in a form...

Name: I Trump

I prob should explain a bit better what is actually wrong with him.
He has suffered with severe rhuematoid arthritis for about 20 years (he is only 62 now, but it is unfortunately hereditory in my family). He has had 2 hip replacements and 1 knee. He was awaiting a 2nd knee replacement four years ago, when he suffered a heart attack, and before they had a chance to put in a stent, he contracted MSSA (this was because the hospital did not remove his cannular early enough). This meant that the stent was never fitted and the knee op could not go ahead.
Since this time he has suffered with panic attacks and severe anxiety about pretty much everything.
Then last July he developed a red mark on his leg which rapidly (within 24 hrs) spread. The hospital took an age to diagnose this correctly as pyoderma gangrenosum (my GP made the correct diagnosis straight away) and the delay in treatment meant that his leg became severely ulcerated and there is now very little treatment available to him.
The pyoderma is connected to his Rhuematoid arthritis, so even if this outbreak was cured or god forbid, his leg had to be amputated (there is lots of talk of this) then it wouldn't actually be cured forever. It could reappear at any time and spread to any part of his body.

All of this was bad enough, then he developed a further infection in the ulcers and was admitted to hospital just after christmas for intravenous antibiotics.
He was released for less than 48 hrs before he was taken into A&E by ambulance, as his organs were failing.
Once stabilised, he was then rushed into surgery as during his time in A&E his other leg had fast developed a swelling and spreading redness that was causing sharp pains.
They believed he may have had necretising fascitis (flesh eating virus) and without treatment he would be dead within hours

We were lucky (or so we thought) that this was not to be the case. However 2 days later the doctor advised us that instead he actually had Gram negative rods, which are equally as bad.
They had released a endotoxin into his bloodstream, causing a toxic shock/septecaemia which is what had caused his body to shut down.

They have been treating this with antibiotics and he has had a drain put in his leg. The antibiotics have now stopped and they are monitoring him and taking him into surgery regulary to check on the infection and slowly try to stitch up the open wound as the skin begins to granualise.
So slow progress and one day at a time at the moment. Then once this is hopefully better, they can get back to trying to treat the other leg.

Sorry such a long post, just thought it might explain things a little better.

Thank you to all of you that have sent well wishes and asked how my dad has been doing, it really is appreciated, especially when some of you are going through so much at the moment and suffering much more than me. You are all :A and have kept me going through everything.

Thinking about you and your dad. Hopefully things will improve and get sorted for him

Edit: just googled his name out of curiosity and his full name is Judd Trump!!
