From Bad to Worse

No good news I am afraid. The hospital called me at 3:45 this morning to say they were taking Carl to the ICU. He was going to be ventilated. I wanted to know if they could wait until I got there so I could at least speak to him but they said, no. I got dressed and hurried up there anyway. The Dr came out to speak to me and he didn't have much encouragement. They were planning to do a bronchoscopy as well. 
I called Jason, Carl's son, and he came. 
Carl is in a chemically induced coma and on a ventilator. A terrifying sight to be sure.
This morning we will have a meeting with the Dr's after rounds. I will know more then.

  1. Words can't say how sorry I am that you both have to go through this. It's good that Jason is coming to be with you. Hoping and praying for the best outcome.
    Hugs, Marilyn
