Dad taken to hospital

He was taken in an ambulance, around 9:30.
Breathing trouble.
He forbade me to come, as I’d upset him.
More later.

Prayers going out to you, your Father, and your family. EAT, if you haven’t already. Drink some water, and try to rest. comfort

I’m sorry to hear that, Bosda. Sending healing thoughts your way.

I’ll keep you and your dad in my prayers.

Jeeze, you’ve had a pretty crappy couple of months, haven’t you?

I’m thinking of you. Do something nice for yourself.

You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Have a nice cup of cocoa and try to take a few breaths. I know it’s hard (maybe impossible) to relax, but do the best you can.

Best wishes mate. But go see him anyway: he may be disappointed that you disobeyed him, but he’ll be less disappointed than if you didn’t.

I agree with Quartz, go see him even if he said not to come. Maybe by now he’s sorry he said it but can’t bring himself to ask. If you can, keep us updated. We’re thinking of you and the family.

Good luck. How old is your dad?

He had fluid in his lungs, but no heart problems.

Looks like that, with care, he will bo OK.

This morning, I take him his dentures.

Bosda, sorry to hear this. I’m glad that the diagnosis sounds so hopeful.
Good luck to him, and take care of yourself, too.

I laugh when extremely upset instead of cry. The last time dad was in the emergency room for a heart attack, I started to have a suppressed laugh. It upset the doctors not dad. They asked what was so funny. Dad speaks up and says “I didn’t go to the doctor a couple days ago when he said to.” I said “I laugh under extreme duress.”

I’m glad things are alright for your dad.

That sounded scary - glad he’s doing better already.

Yeah, glad it was a false alarm. Your family has been through way too much. Sheesh.

You and your family are in my thoughts, Bosda.

Pneumonia.

But with antibiotics, he looks & sound much better.
He is staying in the hospital until at least Friday afternoon.

Good news, Bosda, glad to hear it. :slight_smile:

pneumonia is going around - 3 people in our office have (or have had) it.

Sending healing thoughts his way.

Bosda, I send you best wishes for your dad’s rapid recovery. I’d also like to echo what other posters have said, which is to take care of yourself especially well while your loved one is sick. Please be sure to eat right, take care of any medical conditions you may have, and get plenty of sleep. You don’t want to get sick yourself and it’s so very easy to neglect your own needs while you’re worried about your dad.

Bosda, my sympathies.
Did your dad really say that to you? That was perhaps his way of “staying on top, staying in charge”. Still, a rotten thing for a father to say to his son.
