melissad2 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I've posted before about my dad. He has prostate cancer and has been declining the last few months. Well, he had trouble breathing yesterday and my mom took him to the ER. They found he has several PE's (blood clots in his lung). He's in ICU and stable for now. Good vibes and prayers are welcome!

sheryl Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Yes, prayers for your Dad/family, Bethany's and mine! Keep us updated. :grouphug: Quote
melissad2 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 He's stable for now. Still in CCU. He's maintaining his oxygen saturation on oxygen by nasal cannula right now. He's alert and talking but says his sides are hurting. The dr hasn't been in yet today so hopefully I will have more news soon. In other news, I have no one to watch my kids so I could only get up there for a few minutes this morning :( Quote

Robin M Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Hugs and Prayers!. My mom has copd and has had multiple lung infections. It is going to hurt to take deep breaths but he must do so in order to get good oxygen saturation. The more deep breaths, the less it will hurt. Quote
melissad2 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 UPDATE! What a difference a day makes! He is doing better this morning and was able to talk to me on the phone and eat breakfast!! Please continue to pray as we are not out of the woods yet! Quote
Catwoman Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I'm so glad to hear he is doing better! Still praying here!!!! Quote
