Dad is in the hospital. A week long bout with the flu led to him being hospitalized. In the process of rehydrating him they triggered some other reactions. Took most of the day to get his pulse & blood pressure stabilized. He has a ventilator and is resting albeit sedated. He also endured a heart attack.
Asking you remember him also, along with all the others mentioned here when you say prayers..
UPDATE Added 31-Dec
First off THANK YOU all for your prayers, kind words and good thoughts on Dad's behalf. Here's where he stands:
My brother took Dad to the doctor the day after Christmas where they determined that he was dehydrated with a few other things that did not look right. They actually took him by ambulance from the doctor to the hospital where they started the IV's & such. Sometime in the middle of his first night there he was having trouble breathing - his lungs were filling with fluid. Along the way his heart rate shot up over 180 and BP dropped to nothing and he had a heart attack of still TBD severity. He ended up sedated and with a ventilator. I went to see him Saturday (last week) and frankly he looked awful, a weird shade of gray-yellow and breathing awkwardly because of the vent. However, they got his pulse & BP stable and weaned him off any additional meds. By Sunday he looked much better, his hands are warm and he seemed pretty comfortable. His kidney function wavered some but is now good. They determined that he was not "eating" so they stopped the feeding tube while they figured out why. They expect to re-start that soon (if not already)
Nothing big has happened since then. He is stable and they are in the process of weaning him off the ventilator - which could take another couple days or so. Once off that they will stop the sedation. The doctor seems happy with his progress. He's in the Critical Care Unit at Wyandotte (Henry Ford) Hospital, probably will be at least until he gets off the vent. He will probably move to some kind of rehab facility before he gets home. That bridge is still in the future.
Will try to keep you posted as significant events occur, but I expect this is going to take a little while. Judging by the number of similar postings here on the board it looks like a lot of our "family" is having a rough time, lets keep them all in our thoughts & prayers...

Hey Dennis,
I have never met your Dad but have seen his name and photo around for years. Way back in 1989or so read some articles from him.
My Prayers and good thoughts go out to your family.

Peace.

Dad has progressed to the point where he is finally OFF the ventilator. He is still in the hospital and hitting on about 6 of 8 cylinders but should get back to his self in awhile longer. Not completely out of the woods but he is getting there.
Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes. Please keep them coming for him and all the rest of our SH Family in their times of trial & need. This has already been a rough year...

Well tell Big Art the old DOC says to get well as I hope see him and all of you in the future. H^^

Two days ago dad got moved out of Critical Care Unit into a regular room. He still has a feeding tube but most of the other extraneous plumbing is gone. They got him up on his feet after being bedridden for almost three weeks and he surprised them, stronger than they expected. Either tomorrow or Monday he'll be moving into a rehab facility for the next month or so: Physical therapy, Speech therapy, and what not. Going to tell him he has to be ready for spring training next month!
Certainly not completely out of the woods, and he still has a journey ahead of him, but he is doing better all the time. Again I want to THANK ALL OF YOU for your thoughts and prayers.
-
That's good news we'll keep your Dad in our prayers , he's one great guy.

When you see Big Art again tell him old DOC Holliday says to get well so we can visit some more.
-
Haven't been on in a while, so I missed this thread. Sorry to hear about his trouble. Said a prayer for y'all, Denny.
-
Well Dad made some great strides in the last couple weeks in the rehab hospital. Yesterday he was discharged to live with my brother Archie & his wife, a retired RN. I think his smile speaks volumes. He still needs work but he's getting stronger every day and starting to gain back the 25 lbs he lost.
Call it modern medicine or call it the power of prayer. All I know is that we are all grateful to his caretakers at the hospitals and for all your thoughts and prayers.
-
Please give Big Art my warmest wishes.
(He looks really good in that photo but you guys need to buy him some cooler lookin "jammies"!)
-
Very happy to see Big Art looking better! Thanks for update and picture!!
