So about 4:30am Friday, dad woke up unable to breath or catch his breath. Billy was in Charlotte at training so I called him. Mom and I were unsure what to do. When the ambulance show up, they were wonderful. They took dad on in to the hospital to check him out.
The doctor said many times specialist only look at what they specialized, and he was concerned with dads leg and the swelling so he wanted to check for blood clots. Thank goodness he did. He found that dad had multiple clots in each lung and some in his right leg. He decided to admit dad.
Dad was admitted and mom and I came home to finally get dressed...lol. Billy came in late that night and I think that made dad very happy. He loves us all, but he says Billy understands the doctors better...lol
They started dad on blood thinner shots, got him feeling a little better and sent him home on Saturday. He slept a lot yesterday, but he seemed to be feeling much better this morning. As the day has gone on, his breathing has gotten a bit tougher for him.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers...
