More on Dad

ad had to return to the hospital today. This morning found him seriously dazed and confused, unable to talk, walk, take medicine, eat, drink or do anything except fight to breathe and shake.

The ambulance came, checked his vitals and took him. Apparently on the way they had to give him more oxygen and once at the ER his oxygen had to be tripled to keep him breathing. So many tests and so much blood work. He now has pneumonia and for him this is a serious illness.

He had a difficult time breathing for a while. I could see his entire body jerking in order to do so. He is finally out of ER and in a room. He personally has no idea, but it is more convenient and restful for my mom. He is not doing well. He is still so unresponsive. They just ordered more tests.

Despite his weakness, his strength amazes me.
