    I'm sorry to hear the latest news about your dad. I hope that his doctor can get his infection under control and that he'll feel better soon. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to both of you.

    I am MUCH calmer! Dad is doing well, left ICU overnight and now in a regular room. Will be discharged later this week, going to a facility for a few weeks for physical therapy, we have used this place before and very happy with it. He also needs IV antibiotics for another 14 days, so will get that there too. WHEW!
    Thank you for your good thoughts.

    BTW the c diff diagnosis was changed by the LAB, so he didn't have that. AND the pneumonia was not that, the docs read the x ray themselves, when the Radiology Dept came through, it was CHF - congestive heart failure. So we do have something new to cope with going forward. This serious episode of fluid was triggered by the the IV fluids, one time thing and that has been corrected. However he does have CHF, and gets short of breath now and then - even when all he is doing is sitting. We had noticed this here at home the past few weeks, had an appt set up w/ his primary doc which had to be cancelled with him in hospital; got the info we needed on that.

    Geesh this has been a hectic time. I am looking forward to "boring routine" for a while! Thanks again, all of you, for listening and posting the past few days.

    CHF is a tough thing to battle, but at least now it has been diagnosed, and steps taken to help. We'll be thinking of you!

    Oh, I am so glad Papa Nonno does not have C. diff! And pneumonia vs. CHF... glad you have the correct diagnosis now. I hope his stay at the rehab center will be very successful and you can enjoy your boring routine I'll keep praying.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
