cathy Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Hi All I was part of the blackout, its been really rough not be able to be here. My dad is iN ICU right now. They are saying they dont know what is wrong. HIs pulm say his lungs have fluid but not like usual, he said they are acting like a sponge and absorbing it. If they cant get it under control, they will put him on a respirator. My dad wrote down NO RESPIRATOR on a sheet of paper, the doctot told us its not for life support its just to get him better. He seems to think whatever is wrong may be corrected. All I know is I am not feeling to good about this. On top of everything we couldnt go see him yesterday. They didnt want any visitors at the hospital because of the blackout. If anyone has any ideas on what might be going on as always I appreciate any input. I think I will try and catch up on the boards to see whats been going on since I have been gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debaroo Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Cathy, I hope that the Dr's can find out what is going on and take care of your dad ASAP. It is good that they think it is something that they can clear up. You're in my prayers. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Sorry about your dad, Cathy. I'm assuming he was not on Iressa, because we think that is what caused Lucie's pneumonia. Hope all starts getting better soon. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norme Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Cathy, I hope and pray that they find what is causing the fluid and the sponge effect. Never heard of anything like that. Will say extra prays tonight for you and your dad.. God bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
