I was notified by his wife he is ill and refuses help! We are guessing since we are not drs that he has swollen glands.. his left side of the face is very swollen and now moving to the right! He can't talk right more of a mumbling! Wife says he stops breathing at night! I'm very afraid if he don't get help it will swell more and he won't be able to breathe! Any suggestions on help here? Thanks!
The ride to ER was uneventful, she was taken to the stroke center at the hospital because EMT's also thought she had a stroke. As it turned out it wasn't. This was how my mom's symptoms of a UTI exhibited.
If dad's face is swelling it may very well be allergies or something else. You are right face swelling is dangerous, call 911 yourself if step mom will not. Dad, if competent, can still refuse to go. Are you close enough to go over there or meet them at the hospital?
Actually it was a therapeutic fib to get my sig other to go to the ER, quick thinking on the part of the EMT :)
