Anniemac Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hope Lucie is feeling better. That's a long hospital stay and I hope she can come home soon. Try to rest up a bit while they take good care of her. I know that's easier said than done. Have a nice glass of wine in the evening. Of course prayers are on the way.

Don Wood Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Today they moved Lucie to ICU since she is not getting any better. They are trying to determine what strand of pneumonia she has and also to keep close watch on her. They may do a bronchioscope tomorrow. Her blood pressure has returned to normal, but her blood oxygen can only be maintained with assistance. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christymike Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I just sent a special prayer your way. I remember when my dad got pneumonia and he had to be in ICU also. But ICU is the best care because you know their every need is tended to and they are watched over all the time. It takes time to heal and i will continue to pray for you both. God bless you.

shelliemacs Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Don, could it be aspiration pneumonia rather than bacterial pneumonia??? I only ask because they gave my mom numerous antiobiotics before they dx. aspiration pneumonia due to coughing and choking what she ate or drank. please keep us informed.

norme Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Don, How is Lucie today? am praying real hard for her and you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 We much appreciate all your support and prayers. Lucie has been stable since Saturday but only marginally better. Both lungs are full of fluid and she has a hard time breathing at times. It is really touch and go right now. All three of our kids are here and we have a schedule at church for people to sign up and come stay with her for a period. She is very scared right now to be alone. With my kids and the friends, I have been able to go home and get a night's rest every night. Also, I take breaks to mind the dogs and do other errands. It is a real tough time right now, even though the cancer is at bay. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
