Another bump in the road

Dad started struggling with breathing again. Lungs very wet. Set up to reintubate. Gave him some meds to help with swelling and release fluids. So far the meds are helping so hopefully we won't have to go backwards. His cheif complaint is his throat and every day he has that tube in increases chances of infection and pneumonia as well as discomfort that makes him agitated. He is tring to get out of bed so the have a vest on to keep him tied into the bed,. Finally got a sip of water, he said, "oh yeah" and finally settled back to sleep. Everyone send all you energy to him right now so that he can keep those lungs clear and not go backwards to the ventalator.
