Lung
Well, dad's left lung was collapsed because of
secretion build-up and the pneumonia. This apparently happens because he can't
breathe or cough strongly enough to keep it out naturally. The doctor had to
vacuum it out. Yuck. Blood pressure is more normal now too, but he's still
breathing on a mask. So, the latest is that he has stabilized, but the damn
pneumonia is hanging around.
