Dads back in hospital - so many questions!

Less than one minute read time.

Well dad had the dr out yesterday as his breathing was really bad, the dr called an ambulance to take him in and said he would probably need another chest drain. He's still on EAU but has had an x-ray and they have told him they won't be draining it but not why? Is that normal? I guess we'll know more when he's seen a dr - hopefully tomorrow morning. He looks so tired and his breathing is bad even though he's been in bed with oxygen all day. Is this just another set back he'll get through or could this be the downward spiral???

    Hi Vikki

    I can't answer your questions, but just wanted to send you a big ((hug)). Try not to think the worst until you have spoken to a doctor tomorrow and you get some answers. I know that the waiting and feelings of frustration are very hard,you are obviously a very caring daughter.

    I hope that docs manage to alleviate your dads breathlessness, and that hopefuly this is just a temporary situation.

    Thinking of you, Sharonxx

    Set-backs do happen unfortunately, but don't give up hope. Thinking of you, Val X
