Thoughts & Prayers

My Dad had to go into the hospital yesterday he has been sick with the flu that we seem to have infected half our family with, and it's to that point and we don't want him to get more dehydrated or for the cough to turn into pneumonia again.

Yesterday he had a chest x-ray which showed no pneumonia, he has been started in antibiotics, they are giving him fluids, his keratin level is at 4, much higher than normal.

Today his doctor ordered to push fluids until he couldn't take anymore, which they did and he developed shortness of breath, so they are backing off the fluids now and started breathing treatments and hopefully the shortness of breath will ease up, it was bad and I noticed it before he even said anything about this evening. His keratin level went down, but not much, hopefully more improvement tomorrow. Still is having bowel issues, they are testing to see exactly what virus we are dealing with.

His doctors both said at least another 24-48 hours. I will probably be heading in there tomorrow to make sure things are going ok and to bring him his book reader, the whole time I was on the phone with him this evening his IV pump was beeping and no one came to take care of it, that irritates me.

Positive Thoughts and Prayers are much appreciated, not our first trip to the rodeo, but it never get's any easier.
