Update 2: Father ill, need support

Hello Friends-
So, I did go home this past weekend to check up on Dad. I really don't know if I have more information than I did this time last week, but this is what happened.
First day there, he did tell me that he is taking a new antibiotic (the Ciprofloxacin that I snooped last time I was there). He says that the Dr.'s think something is wrong with his spleen and that it may be the cause of the anemia that he has had for years. The Ciprofloxacin is for this supposed spleen issue. He also told me that he went to the Dr. last Friday and that his blood pressure was down, and his sugars were down.
Okay- I'm unconvinced. First, he didn't tell me that he was going to the Dr. on Friday the 10th, I was only aware of the appt. on Monday the 13th. And if he is doing so well, then why is he going to the hospital on Friday and then having to go back on Monday? I did notice that he had bruising on his left forearm that looked like where an IV may have been, but I didn't know the put in IV's in the forearm.
I straight up asked him if everything was alright with his health. He claims that everything is alright, except for this spleen thing. I also told him, that if he were in ill health or had any health concerns that I would need to know because I loved him and wanted to be there for him. Well, he claims he is fine, and that's his story and he is sticking to it. He says he is just old and that he plans to at least out live his dog. I find it hard that my father would ever lie to me, but all this sounds a little fishy to me!
I called him after his appt. on Monday and he said that they are going to have to keep him over night soon, for a sleep study. Now, he supposedly went to the Hematologist (spleen issue) on Monday, and I find it odd that a blood disorder specialist would order a sleep study. Sounds fishy also!
Well, I wrote down all the medications in his stash. They are: Simvastatin, Glucotrol, Losartan, Amlodipine, Propranolol, Metformin and the Ciprofloxacin. There was no Lasix there, but there has been in the past. Also, the Ciprofloxacin bottle reads, take to PREVENT infection in belly fluid, so I guess that may be some good news, that he possibly doesn't have the Bacterial Peritonitis that I feared last week.
I'm still not convinced that there is not a liver issue. His stomach is so swollen, I can tell that he is uncomfortable. Are there other conditions that can cause the ascites?
Thoughts, opinions on any of this would be helpful.
Hope everyone is having a good day. Sorry the post is so long.

Hi Lucy,
I've had iv's in the top and bottom of my forearm, on top of my knuckle and a couple of other places you don't need to know about. Much of where they go depends on the veins they have to work with and the person inserting the iv. The forearm seems to be the most used spot. The MRI tech I usually see likes the vein on the inside of my forearm. Good luck with your dad. I like Connie's idea of catching him with a question when he's not expecting it.
