This morning, Sunday, February 20th, dad travelled to the Parker ER to cheer up the medical staff! Can you imagine the church service that dad gave to the nurses and docs? Actually, he was having problems breathing, and came to find out that some fluid had accumulated between the lungs and the chest wall. This is a very common occurance following major chest surgery. Conservative treatment with medication was the order from the cardiologist, and dad is going to head home! If his breathing worsens, a more aggressive approach will be used to draw off the fluid.
Dad has been encouraging everyone to spend more time with family and less time on the not important things. So go do that today, at his request! Thank you for the prayers.
I am so glad you posted this. I had heard that fluid was around his heart and his lungs . . . I will say an extra prayer for one of my favorite guys.
