Dad Update
[Dad in the hospital in August, the last time he had pneumonia]
So Dad was released from the hospital yesterday (Saturday) morning. Last night he had a 103 degrees fever and mom had to take him back to the hospital. He was having severe camping which normally causes him to go septic. Late last night/early this morning, Dad was released again.
About ten minutes mom called to tell me that Dad is once again back in the hospital, this time for pneumonia. The pneumonia was either a strain he’s had that has been dormant and because he’s been sick it’s been able to go full force or it’s a strain he caught while in the hospital.
Mom had just heard back from the doctors about Dad’s x-rays when she called me. She said they were checking him in but didn’t know anything else. So right now I don’t know how serve the pneumonia is or which lung it’s in.
Normally it wouldn’t matter which lung he has pneumonia in, but since he just punctured one of them a few days ago, it could make a huge difference.
So right now I get to play the ‘waiting game’ where I have no power or control of what is going on and I just merely wait to hear how dad is doing.
