We had to call the Rescue Squad to come and get Daddy around 1:30 a.m. this morning. He has been getting weaker and weaker the past couple days and we thought it was a combination of the radiation and the possibility that he could still have the c-diff infection since he started having diarrhea again on Thursday. His temperature was up to 103.9 and Mom couldn't wake him up. When the Paramedics checked his O2 level it was only 66%, his pupils were fixed and dilated and he was in/out of consciousness. The ER Doctor said that Daddy obviously has a pretty bad infection somewhere (duh). He is requiring 100% oxygen to keep his O2 level above 90. His blood pressure is only 97/52 but his heart rate is running between 94 - 100. His temperature right now is 102.6 and that's after they gave him a Tylenol suppository around 3:00 a.m. They took him down at 4:00 to do a CT Scan of his head, face and chest. The ER Doctor thinks that he may possible pneumonia. They are also talking about intabating him, but we would like Dr. Keeley called in before they do something like that. He will be admitted to ICU here at Roanoke Memorial but we don't know yet what floor he will be on. I will update more when we know something. Please continue to keep him and Mom in your prayers.
