Hospitals don't like people staying there any longer than they have to because they are the most dangerous place a vulnerable person can be. Full of disease.

Makes sense I guess.
hospitals are absolutely filthy, noisy, crawling with disease, uncomfortable and have shitty food. hospitals are geared towards treating a patient rather than recovery. if they discharged your dad that means that the doctors think he probably only needs rest and his medications. hopefully they are right and your dad makes a full recovery.
I will keep your father in my prayers

He'll probably be okay but it depends on what kinda pneumonia he's got and what other complications and all that but yeah I assume that the hospital wouldn't just send him home if he were worsening. If it's bacterial and he's on antibiotics and not getting worse then he'll probably be okay for sure IMO*
*not a doctor
It's his heart rn, I think he's over the sickness? Anyway that's at least a bit more reassuring, thank you.
If he keeps getting sick don't let them send you off without a good explanation. My grandpa would get repeated blood infections. Could never figure out what was wrong, we (the family) all assumed he was just bad about finishing his antibiotics. Medical staff didn't figure out till wayyy too late and some months in the hospital that his heart valve replacement was infected. Could have saved us a whole lot of grief if that was caught sooner. NAD and not to scare you, just to say that medical neglect does happen so trust your gut.
On a lighter note, sending good vibes your way 
Sending you love. My relationship with my dad is different than yours, but he too is also in failing health. If you ever wanna DM to vent, feel free 
ty and will do
❤️
Hoping the best for you and your dad
Wishing a swift recovery to your dad sfs
