GreatLakesGramma Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Please pray for my husband's Uncle Howard. He is in the hospital with pneumonia. He is over 90 years old, so this is especially dangerous for him. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26.

GreatLakesGramma Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Uncle Howard is doing better, but is still in the hospital. There is a whistling in his breathing, and he is getting oxygen every 4 hours. He was confused and anxious, but has been able to relax and get some sleep last night.

GreatLakesGramma Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thank you for your prayers. Uncle Howard is much better now. He is still on oxygen, but he isn't confused any more. Though they expect him to recover now, he still needs prayer. My husband's stepmother was in the hospital, everything was going well, and they expected her to recover, then suddenly she died. So we aren't counting on anything now. The stress is also hard on husband's Aunt Arlene. Cousin says she is depressed. So she needs our prayers too.

GreatLakesGramma Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I received another update. He is doing better with his breathing and cognitive thinking. He also has his appetite back. Yesterday, he stashed half a hamburger under his sheet so he could eat it at night. What a rascal! Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26.

GreatLakesGramma Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 I finally received an update. Uncle Howard went home on Friday, which no one told us then. But last night he went back in by ambulance, with a fever and breathing problems. They think he has an infection. They have him under observation for a very contagious infection, which she said they called PT. Aunt Arlene also has an infection, but she is not in the hospital, and I don't know any more than that about her situation. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

GreatLakesGramma Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 They found out that Uncle Howard did not have an infection. Because of the pneumonia, the food he was eating was going into his lungs. They are keeping him there until this is taken care of. They expect him to go home no later than Monday.

GreatLakesGramma Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 My husband called his cousin tonight. Uncle Howard has been out of the hospital for a few days. His son thinks he has had a mild stroke that has affected his swallowing, which is causing the food to go into his lungs. He also can't reach very far with his arm, which could also be the result of a stroke. It could be the food in his lungs that caused the pneumonia in the first place, not the other way around. The problem isn't going away, so they have to watch him carefully when he eats. Aunt Arlene is doing OK for the time being, probably just until the next crisis.

Comfort him and his family and friends. May he and his family trust in You. May they feel the strength of Your arms and stand fast in faith.

GreatLakesGramma Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 It's a very contagious, hospital-bred, drug-resistant infection. It is life-threatening.

I never looked it up before to see what C-diff stands for. Various Clostridium bacteria cause some pretty serious infections. Botulism, tetanus, and gangrene are all clostridia. At Wikipedia, I read that the infection is caused by antibiotics killing the good intestinal bacteria, allowing it to grow out of control. So that's probably why he has this.

GreatLakesGramma Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Uncle Howard is home again. They are giving him some very powerful antibiotics.
