Dad is in hospital…
August 1, 2007
I wanted to write a quick entry to let my online friends and visitors who visit me daily to let you all know that I had to call 911 last night around 8:00 for my dad to go to the hospital. He was not getting enough oxygen. He just went to the doctor that afternoon as he had a cold and we didn’t want it to get worse. They said he had bronchitis and with his history of Pneumonia and COPD, I was suprised they didn’t get an x-ray. He was trembling very much and had a fever of 101.9. His pulse and resp were very weak. So I called 911. I was at the hospital until 4:15 this morning. My dad has Pneumonia again. But we are unsure which type as with taking the Humira and Arava for the RA, it can cause a certain type of Pneumonia. His blood gas was not very good and they took blood cultures. They are also testing the fluid he is coughing up from his lungs. I am heading back to the hospital and I will update when I can…..
Also my mom called this morning and her boyfriend Jim died at 2 this morning. She is in mourning and my thoughts are with her.
