I just found out this afternoon that my grandpa is the in hospital in the ICU hooked up to a ventilator and isn't doing too well.
He went to the ER early this morning with shortness of breath and chest pains. They ruled out a heart attack, but he did quit breathing in the ER and so they put a tube into his lungs so he can breathe. For now I think they're calling it Respiratory failure. According to my mom he probably also has congestive heart failure too.
I'm pretty upset right now. I have alot of classes that I need to focus on and cannot get back home to see him. The doctor said he has a 50/50 chance of making it thru this. He is 83 years and so this could be it.
