were home,im so tired

THANK-YOU everyone for your needed support and prayers and please continue to pray. Got back and while there the hospital closed to all visitors and the flue is running rapid in town of Shaunavon.My dad has double pnaumonia and oxygen level is at 9 ,he was a very heavy smoker years ago hasnt smoked for 5 years but also has copd and with all this its esculated to serious measures for him at age of 84.Hes in isolation for his own safety as well due to long term part of hospital being not allowed to visitors at all.Is on antibiotic iv and started on a neb and given predisone.before my husband and i left back bp and bloodwork all was normal,the nebulizer liquid 4xdaily and hes being looked after well,but it will be a long haul for him with copd and double pnaumonia. Hes very weak and had not much change in our departure.But now im keeping in touch by phone ,didnt make much sence staying and the hospital is closed to visitors anyway and something i dont need to be around with my wonderful immune system i have. My moms fine and has the best of support from friends at her home and other relatives are with her ......we know shes fine for the time being. One day at a time and im always facing the sunshine and shadows will fall behind and im ready to face it all if need be. And my beautiful grandaughters just arrived with my bratz
birthday cake and we are going to ENJOY IT and rest i hate travelling LOL
Again thanks so much everyone for your prayers and support means soooooo
much to me.

If he's still on the vent after a week, get on them about traching him. So long as that Vent tube is in, it's a highway for germs. Sounds like he's got the worst already and won't need any add ons. My prayers also.

non stress DECISION

non stress DECISION

Ross the vent tubes out......it is a big issue ...germs are a big issue
and its not something my dad requested,i feel that if he agreed to it these med professionals should be honest with all information and you need to make a fully informed decision and fully supportive ,my dad didnot want this,they seemed resentful and the experience on part of hospital staff but you know this stress is gonna land me im so angry about what happened and no all good i left knowing no vent was continued on him ,hes concious Ross hes gonna get through this cus his stubborness and mine and all thats ready happened before i got there .well stress unbearable and long story but vents out as fast as went in.im so ticked with the professional part of it im going to work my last night shift tonight then relax the weekend off. i cant sit here and relax and phoning them well you get this distance ...but you know what thats not what he wants and they still have to report his progress to me and ill phone as many times as i need to and they need to report.
last prognosis was hes breathing on his own and not much change since our departure,very weak i even got them to sterilize that darn phone and hold to his ear till im done talking to him and you can hear his rattled breathing .im gonna call again and again till those iv antibiotics kick in and the rest of the medications .my mom is 83 and not the greatest health either but she wasnt even there when they vented him and i mean hospitals off limits to everyone right now i couldnt bear to see him like that and vents out thank-god i wouldnt be home yet if it was. we all feel its better out and im praying he comes around all this and pulls through,His proffession was a logger and he pretty near sawed self in half with chain saw and they put him back together never thought hed pull through,but you know what hes 84 years old and hes just.....just my stepdad not my natural dad. My natural dad died when i was 12 and later my mom met this wonderful man she married and has been in my life forever to now and hes special dad to me always will be will never replace my real dad whom i miss dearly too and has never tried to.and yes as i said hes 84 hes lived a beautiful life was good to all and sometimes things happen but im ready again .but im not gonna babble anymore and no the vents been out exactly since 8am wednesday morning.

Prayers going your way for you and yours.

Alot Better......thank-you For Support

Alot Better......thank-you For Support

Than-you all for prayers and support,Ireally appreciate all youve all done,my dad has improved so much and his breathing is good hes at 96% on the oxygen ,hes not rattling in the chest his copd inflamations right down.Was taken out of isolation on friday and is now able to talk to me on the phone,he was on 8 and 9 and a half oxygen level in beginning and now back to normal 2He suffers with copd although did get this bad flue with it the chest cold and due to stubborness he let it ride till he collapsed and was no longer breathing,which caused inflamation drastically to his copd and this brought on more illness......hes lucky to be here today and i truely believe with all the support and prayers on vr com hes pulled through with flying colors.He had an awful ratle in his chest yet friday and yesterday and today he has nothing ,the medical staff is at awe and his iv was taken off on saturday and hes being given oral antibiotics,the nurses say for first time today he improved from his gastly look of illness even.Ive kept up persistance on the phone daily and at least now hes talking and we are all content with his major
outcome and all starting to relax again im sorry ive not been on the site daily as i needed a weekend to stay in bed and rest up i think now its my turn for something and couldnt get to a dr. on friday as my dr. was away so tomorrow hopefully i get to see him regarding self,im blaming it on stress and tiredness and travel and work and honest ive stayed in bed all weekend and feel not better or im thinking maybe picked something up in the hospital where dad is as they had the long term building closed to public,my symptoms are shortness of breath,feel like a relapse of this terrible cold flue i had in jan and my ribs and chest are sooooooconstantly aching like the headache that started monday is still so far away.These are just annoying pains not leaving me and i just wanna sleep and sleep im so tired all the time and cold and sweat.....no fever and too march isnt my month my real dad died in march my deceased brothers birthdays are in march and i had open heart surgery the same day in march my biolgical dad died 24th of marchand i kinda wanna take march right off the calender and sit on april for two months so maybe theres a plan lol.........But yes im gonna go see my dr tomorrow and give him these symptoms as i know all im experiencing something could be wrong or im just so to the point ive drastically overtired self but in bed all weekend and dont feel much better. They are saying my dad will likely be going home wednesday and thank goodness for his stubborness hes pulled out of this,why is it always a macho thing guys never seem to need to go see a dr? Ive got a husband like that too or is it just men in my family lol.?
okay Ross ive kinda covered two posts here into one dads health and my feeling awful guess if i shouldnt have youll let me know,see now im on site and feeling better maybe thats all i needed alright again than-you all for your prayers and your concerns and if i go in to drs tomorrow ill let you know whats up.......with me but truly im feeling better for a minute here lol not funny i know.k going to read what ive missed here all weekend....bye all
