Swine Flu...dad very sick NEW UPDATE page 3

Prayers for your mom, dad, and family.
 
I hope your parents feel better soon! Call your sisters and make sure that they have an understanding of how deadly the H1N1 can be for someone with an underlying condition such as your father's. They will have to be your eyes and ears in this situation. :hug:
 
Sending more prayers out for your parents. I hope they both have a speedy recovery.
 

UPDATE:


Dr called dad today. Apparently they found a "spot" on his lung on the x-ray. Dad does not smoke. He also had a chest x-ray done back in August when he had a physical following some complications he had due to taking Prednisone for a poison ivy outbreak....THAT x-ray was clean. He is going tomorrow for a CT Scan. The Dr. did not make any mention of what the spot could possibly be, but I don't know how it could be related to the Swine Flu. Regardless, I'm worried still, and they are both being very mindufl of any changes to how they feel and will go to the ER if there are ANY changes.

My prayers continue for your parents. Hopefully, the spot is just a shadow.
 
Continued well wishes for you and your parents!

I KNOW you will worry but finding a "spot" may not be something serious. A few years ago, I was suffering major back pain (I have had two spinal surgeries already) and was sent for an MRI. Due to the "hardware" in my spine, they could not get a good picture of the area.....but they found a "spot" on one of my kidneys. Was sent for a CT scan (and of course, had another thing to worry about). CT scan showed it was just some old scarring probably from a kidney infection that I had long ago.........BUT they found my gallbladder was full of stones (the actual cause of my back pain that time) and I had that removed!

Sometimes.........it's not the "major" thing you think it might be!

I hope your parents start feeling better quickly! My parents are on a two week cruise right now and I worry too. So many people in close contact. I know more than a few people that have recently returned from trips sick or coming down with something. My moms partner at work got really sick on her flight home sitting next to a person that hacked the whole way home.:sick:

Sending positive thoughts for your Dads test tomorrow.:hug:
 
Continued prayers for your parents. It is a scary and uncertain time for you. Take one hour at a time and know that with prayer all things are possible.
 
Continuing to pray for your dad.. Try not to be too alarmed about the "spot" - it may not be serious at all.. The bigger concern is the flu and hopefully he will make a complete recovery..:hug:
 
don't fret too much about the spot...my son had several "spots" from his pneumonia that resolved once the antibiotics kicked in.....a spot could be many things, but of course, all of us tend to think the worst when it is a loved one. Continued prayers for a quick recovery!!!!
 
Hey guys...dad's CT scan was post-poned until tomorrow (thursday). The doctor had him into the office again today though and said that the spot appeared to be on his rib rather than lung. Dad fell in the bathtub about three years ago and cracked a rib, so it could be a bone spur or something from that. We'll see.

he was feeling a bit better today. Mom feeling a bit worse....at least they're taking turns. Will let you know how the CT scan goes!
 
Keeping your parents in my thoughts. Glad your Dad is feeling better.
 
I'm happy to hear your dad is feeling better and I hope you mom does soon. Thanks for the update, hope tomorrow goes well for your dad. Positive thoughts for him! :)
 
So glad you Dad is feeling better and send prayers your Mom is on the mend soon also. Also send positive thoughts your Dad's spot is nothing to be concerned over. :hug:
 
I hope that your Mom and dad both feel better soon.
