First they thought he had a viral flue, they sent him home on oxygen.
Then they got results back from the hospital on his blood work, and they said he might have a blood clot in his lungs. So, back he went to the hospital to get another x-ray, with dye to check for that. Late Tuesday night I was told it was not that, and that they found out that its “Multi lobar pneumonia”.
Apparently its multiple spots in his lungs that have pneumonia. So, its Wonderful that he doesn’t have the blood clots, but its not exactly good that he has this. The doctor still said he is not able to go to the wedding. In fact, today is the doctors day off, and he is going to make a house call to their house this afternoon to check his oxygen levels, and if its not what he wants to be seeing, he will admit him into the hospital.!
(Talk about a groovy doctor! What doctor makes house calls, not to mention on his day off!)
So that is where we are at now.
My dad wants to stay home (obviously) because if they can, they might try to sneak him out of the house just for the ceremony. But that is risky!
So, its good and bad news all rolled into one.
And I got thinking too, about a week ago my parents stopped by one night to watch the girls while we ran to a quick meeting, and during that time Kiera started getting her cough, so my parents were exposed to her cold at that time. And my father has NO immune system, so I think what happened was he caught that bug from Kiera, and with nothing in his body to fight it off, it ran a muck in there. Unfortunately when my dad gets close to anyone with a small cold, it turns into something MUCH bigger, that lasts MUCH longer, so it can be very dangerous for him to be around anyone with a cold!
So, I feel responsible, even though I was unknowingly doing so!!!
Sorry Daddyo, I love you!!!!!!
Thanks to everyone for your calls of concern, your emails and your prayers!
Love you all!
