Dad is 95. He has fluid in his lungs. They thought it was pneumonia but now think it is congestive heart failure. Giving him lisix and lots of antibiotics. I slept in the recliner last night and tonight. I think he will go home on Monday, the cardiologist and ho****e are coming to see him at the hospital on Monday, then if he is stable or better I suppose he will go home. We brought mom out to see him yesterday, she sat by the bed, they held hands and she went to sleep. Their 75th wedding anniversary is next month.
So... in Moultrie, waiting for the rain. UGA on the TV, Ga Tech (and the Coffee House) on the computer...
 
I hope to get home on Tuesday... I am tired and way behind in my work.
 
Prayers requested. Thanks! If you dont pray, send mojo.

PS: if the nurse comes in here again tonight at 4:30 with a loud cheery "Good Morning"... someone is going to get hurt... then again, I can't get out of the chair.. so she is safe, lol. I'll just squeeze the pillow tighter over my head. It is hard to sleep in a chair when you're over 60.

I hope your dad gets better soon! I know how tough that can be. Hope he's home soon.

Thank you!

I'll send you prayers, but not till about bed time.  Meanwhile, I know how hard it is to have a father who is not well.  I hope your dad feels better.
 
Keep the faith, keep your head up
 
Cheers

:-)
 

Yeah...  I've been there.  Hang in there Julien!
 
(Wow, 95!)

It's rough. I went through it with my dad and then my mom. She went to the hospital every six months to  "dry out" but lasted several years with the congestive heart failure. It's hard to be the good son, but years from now you'll be happy you did what you could.
 
All the best.

Best wishes Julien.

mojo is on the way J.

Best wishes,
 
I got one of those awful calls when I was 3,500 miles from home. I managed to get home next day. Fortunately my dad pulled through and is now fit as a fiddle. Hoping its the same with yours.

Just sent some prayer your way.
