Phred back in Hospital - needs prayers.

[shais_mom]

I sent an email to some of you and now Phred has asked that I make a post so here it is. Here is his original thread
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...+prayers+phred

I talked with him last nite and quite honestly he sounded pretty ickky.
He was pretty short of breath and his feet are swollen and he hasn't slept more then 2-3 hours since he has been home from the hospital. He finally expressed seriousness to his doctor and he had some tests today. As suspected, he is showing signs of Congestive Heart Failure.
congestive heart failure

NOUN:

A condition marked by weakness, edema, and shortness of breath that is caused by the inability of the heart to maintain adequate blood circulation in the peripheral tissues and the lungs.


He went into the hospital this afternoon according to his friend Jason against his will. He will be there a couple days while they run more tests. He is going to have a Nuclear Scan tomorrow to see if he has a blood clot in his lungs.
He is resting comfortably and is in the best place he could be right now.
He is here.....
St Elizabeth Health Center
(330) 746-7211
1044 Belmont Ave
Youngstown, OH 44504

The fur kids are at Pat and Joan's. And for those of you who have his cell phone number he has that with him also.
I will update more when I know more....

EDITED TO Add:
I JUST TALKED WITH HIM.
Granted it lasted all of 2 minutes if that but he gave me the info for the hospital.
his room is 6416A -
direct line is 330-480-6416

Thanks for keeping us uppie-dated, Staci.

Poor guy. Prayers are most definitely on the way!!

Yikes! That's terrible! I spoke to him before Christmas and he sounded pretty bad. I'm so worried about him. I'm glad the doc fit him in for an appointment. He's where he should be. I'll try calling him tomorrow. Thanks for the uppity date. I'll be praying very hard for that sweet soul.

I didn't realize Phred had heart failure, I thought he had a blockage. I had a friend at work with heart failure, he had it for years and it was controlled. I am glad Phred is getting the help he needs, my mother had heart failure and it took me forever to get her to go to the doctor and by then it was too late, its not something to be ignored.

Prayers to you Phred, we don't really know each other but I enjoy your posts so much. Big hugs sent your way.

This is a new onset condition just 'came about' since his procedure.

[Corinna]

Please any one who talks to him tell him we here are praying for him.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I sure hope that Phred will be okay and that his hospital stay won't have to be too long. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please get well soon Phred.

Oh no , lots of good healing vibes on the way for Phred. I will keep those good thoughts coming.

I'm so sorry to hear that Phred is back in the hospital again.
Get well soon Phred so you can be back at home with your furkids.

He will certainly be in our prayers. I was wondering last night if he had developed asthma, as one of my freinds did after a heart attack. I am glad he is in the hospital, though I know he doesn't want to be there, and he can get the medical attention he needs.

I hope Mr. Bear got to go with him!

Anything you need, you know you can count on me, and you know you can count on me, I really do mean that, Staci.
