luvmydad Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I posted on Sept. 6 that dad was admitted to the hospital for pnuemonia. After a nightmarish stay in our local hospital for a week, dad refused further treatment there and was transported via ambulance to Johns Hopkins where his surgery was done in May. I followed the ambulance up Friday morning (80 mph in the pouring rain I might add!! )so I could take mom since we did not know how long he would be there. They performed a bronchoscopy as soon as we got there and withdrew fluid from his lung for testing. They took chest x-rays, ct scans, ultra sounds, and what felt like a million different blood tests. Long story short....dad has pnuemonia and is still cancer free!!!! Praise the Lord!!! We were scared out of our minds during this whole process. Mom and dad are driving home as I type this and we are so very grateful for him being blessed. Thanks for all the prayers. Blessings, Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
