My Grandfather is going into have a "procedure" done this AM
he is 89 and up to March was 100% independent
than he had a stroke
and it has been downhill ever since
Now he has a lung that wont reinflate cause of a bunch of fluid around it
but every time they drain it it just refills
so the Procedure is to put a semi permenate drain in
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers today
his name is Frank
He needs to get better
my Mom has practically lived with him since March and it is really hard on her and Dad and so frustrating for him since he has Never needed assistance and
he is not liking it at all
thanks in advance for any prayers and pixie dust you may send his way
UPDATE
they did the procedure and decided to keep him at least one night hopefully two
he is dehydrated as he has been refusing to drink so hopefuly they will get that under control
the lung is draining well so far
thank you all again
