My very VERY good friends husband, who is also a good friend of mine, is in the hospital. He is in ICU and is in VERY critical condition.
He was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday and was diagnosed with pneumonia. On Tuesday his chest x-ray showed some fluid in his lungs. Yesterday's chest x-rays shows his lungs are almost completely full of fluid. He had to be intubated yesterday which means they also sedated him so he won't fight the tubes. The doctor told her with as sick as he is there is a 40% chance we won't make it. (Why don't they say it the other way? He has a 60% chance of making it.)
They are also in the process of determining if he might have the H1N1/Swine Flu Virus.
My friend is (obviously) not doing well during this difficult time.
I just don't understand why this is happening. This is just NOT right. He is normally a pretty healthy guy. It's just crazy.
I know PT has some powerful ways. I'm not even a religious person, but I have been hoping and praying (if you want to call it that) all week.
He is much too young for this. He will be 41 in a couple weeks. I know age doesn't matter in a situation like this. (Another Swine Flu death last week in the town I live in was a nine year old girl.)
I'm sorry I am rambling. Thank you to anyone who read through this and can spare a thought or prayer.
