Our son Daniel was admitted into the Intensive Care Unit of
the hosital yesterday with complications of the flu. He has been sick
for two weeks, and has had 4 different visits to the E/R and doctor's
offices during that time.
The first visit to the E/R he was dehydrated and had chest x-rays, and
it looked like something was starting in one lung so antibiotics were
started then. At that time the doctor said that if he had waited
another day it would have been pretty bad, but it looked like
they caught it before any complications.
After 6 days he went into a doctor's office in town when he was having
some difficulty breathing. He now had pneumonia in both lungs, had a
breathing treatment and another antibiotic. Then he had a return appt
for that Friday. He went in on Friday and they administered some
oxygen and referred him to a pulmonary specialist at the hospital, so
he went there and they did more tests and he now he was dehydrated
again which caused blood clots in his lungs and in one leg. He's
getting lots of breathing treatments, oxygen, blood thinners and doing
a bit better tonight. They had all told him to go to bed, get lots of
rest and get lots of fluids. So, he did! He did nothing else.
Needless to say I'm scared!
I am not an overly religious person, but I am a spiritual person
who believes that prayers are very powerful. For those who believe in
prayers and who do pray, can you please add my son to yours? I would
appreciate it so much.
