On friday we had to get dad to the Hospital so the ambulance came and took him in mom follwoed in the car.
x-rays and blood tests later he has fluid on his lungs.
So, he is on high dose antibiotics, the put him on Oxygen full time and he is on another pill that is suposed to remove fluid from his body but the fluid has to go somwhere so he has to pee evey 15 minutes. Which is fine we can deal with that.
The problem is that with the pill that takes away the fluids has made the phlem thicker and he can't cough up what is in his lungs what forms in his mouth we are suctioning him all the time.
He has lost a lot of his energy and he has been sleeping a lot more since he went to the hospital its like that trip took all of his energy. He has told us how miserable he is and it is so hard to understand him he dosn't have the energy to use his speach device. I feel so helpless, Mom and I can't do anything to help and it is driving us crazy.
I feel like he is giving up
