Any advise?
First, I hope that your father does well.


The best way to deal with this is to get a doctor's note describing what it is and why it should not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary. The doc will be happy to do that for you.

Your father will almost certainly just be able to walk through the security line without any second glances anyway.

Hope you can get some sleep before the flight heads home, and best of luck with everything.

Cheers,

Doc
