This sounds like a complicated series of illnesses and predisposing conditions. It would not be appropriate for any diagnosis or recommendations for treatment on this volunteer website. Best idea would be to talk to your Dad's Dr team. They have all the history, tests, current vitals and labs, to make informed medical decisions.
