I'm not sure where this should go so I apologize if it's in the wrong forum.
I am in the US, my dad is in the UK. I just heard this morning that he has pneumonia - he's in the hospital. Both mum & dad have repeatedly told the doctors that they want to take one day at a time and don't want to hear bad news. I totally understand this.
However, I am not sure if I should fly home right away, because of the pneumonia. I've scheduled a trip back in September, but I don't want to wait if it potentially means losing dad before I see him.
I can't talk to my mum about this and am at a bit of a loss. Unfortunately my funds are limited so flying back often is not possible.
At the end of the day...do people with ALS pull through pneumonia, or....
Thank you for any advice.
