OT: Mike & I have Pneumonia!

Post by DoriC » Fri Mar 21, 2014 8:50 pm

I was just released yesterday from hospital, Mike is still in hospital and will be transferred to rehab tomorrow. We have family here taking care of both ends. Says prayers for my my Mike!, he's not doing well, also had a little brain "episode" that they're trying to pin down. He 's pretty non-responsive and has to be fed. I haven't seen him in 3 days and trusting my family to take care of things and tell me the truth. Not a good situation as you all know I'm the only one who can really take care of him. They wanted his vpap at rehab but god knows if they'll set it up right. I'm worried out of my mind but I can't go to see him until maybe Sunday if I stop coughing. Counting on all of your powerful prayers to pull my Mike back. Thanks, Dori

I wish you both a speed recovery, did you both take the shots? Just asking for my own reasons. The setting up of the XPAP shouldn't be changed should it. JIM

Get well soon.♥
