Hello to all and a Happy Holiday Season....
I have not written in awhile... Things have been the same and dad is doing well thank GOD...
I need some experience and I know the best place to come is ALS Forums.... AL and his team is what I call us to the public....
I tend to overreact and before I get dad into worry mode I would like some feedback...
Dad over the course of this week was a bit horse, voice a bitt gurgled, coughing, and clearing his throat a bit... Well just Thursday evening the cold came.... He says his head feels stuffy, he blows his nose often (just reg. yellow gump and gop).... Continues to clear his throat and cough... So now what
Dad's coughing is strong, breathing is strong, normal 6am -8pm wide eyes around 9pm - 10pm he reads his paper and at 11pm or so he goes to sleep.... He awakens mabye once sometime twice to goto the bathroom...
So is just the normal tea, soup, rest, lots of water, orange juice and other liguids the plan or are meds a must?
I am so scared of him getting phnenmonia. This internet things is scary sometimes and not the best for me cause I read into everything.... I read that one person was fine and from a normal cold he was on a vent forever....
Please help I want to be sure dad is ok and is doing the right thing....
