CHF and Pulmonary Edema
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2018 8:40 am
made for a rather busy night for Dad and I.
He phoned me aroung 8 pm, said he was having trouble breathing. I said "push you alert button and I'll be right there."
Staff were with him 30 seconds after he pushed the button, called the EMTs, and off we went to the hospital. They gave him nitro, and decided to keep him overnight (he was rather grumpy about that).
They may keep him another day or so, as there was a lot of fluid in his lungs.
Good thoughts are very welcome
