Staci I am so glad he is in the hospital and getting care. As I mentioned in my e-mail it sounded a little like CHF to me as my mom suffers from that. They will probably start him right away on diuretics to stop the swelling and there are medications nowadays to help. My brother's MIL lived a long time with CHF so it is treatable. Now we just have to get Phred to listen to the docs and obey. Prayers going up for this very special man. Please do keep us posted.
