If a person has just had surgery with a weak immune system should he have visitor with viral infection?


dad just had septic gallbladder removed, has duodeum cancer in remission, niece with severe ear infection and some type of viral infection, his immune system is extremely low, should I take the chance? he is 69 years old

Definitley not!!!! Tell your neice to send him some flowers and/or a card, and that she'll see him when he's home.

Hope you dad is better soon!!!

NO

Anything goes wrong and you wil be blaming yourself for years to come

No, it is not worth the risk. If his immune system is low then he is much more open to infection.

No not a chance. If his immune system is low he is more susceptible to infection. Keep people who are ill away from him.

It will only be for a short while and this will speed up his recovery. Have your niece send him a nice picture or send a card or something, that should be good enough. GOOD LUCK.

i don't think so.

Um this answer is easy noooooo...
Dont risk any viral infections especially in children
to be taking out to elderly ppl who just had a serous operation like your dad.
any one with a low immune system is able to get all types of infections so my best advice is give it a few weeks maybe 2 then see how the kid is and your father then make a better judgement.
the last thing your father wants now is an infection on top of what he is already dealing with..

No, you should wait until her infection has cleared up before you take her to see him. If his immune system is as low as you imply it is, you could be putting dad in harms way. You should also take the time to decontaminate yourself before entering the room if you have been around the niece, this will help ensure that you do not bring the virus in on your clothing, hair or skin.

Hell no!!

Call him on the phone. That is way too severe a risk to his health.
Unless dad is literally dying and you want the niece to see him one last time, it would be a dumb idea.
