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.
