911

Adrienne has had increasing shortness of breath the last two days and spiked a fever last night. By this morning, she was having a lot of difficulty breathing and looked quite gray/blue so I called 911. At least she got a couple of cute EMTs to take her to the ER. They got her on oxygen at the house so she started feeling better right away. They just put her into an intermediate care room, one step down from ICU. She's gotten 3 different antibiotics and a slew of tests. Turns out she has pneumonia in one lung and pleural effusions around both lungs. The plan is to keep her stable today, get more antibiotics on board, and then drain the effusions in the morning. Please pray that things go smoothly. I'll update when I know more.

Poor Adrienne! I hope the antibiotics kick in soon....maybe she'll feel better after she gets the fluid drained tomorrow. Sending lots of prayers your way! Keep us posted!

Sending lots of love and ((HUGS)) to you both. Hope the meds clear up the pneumonia and the procedure tomorrow makes you more comfortable Adrienne. I'll be checking for updates often.

Love, Susan
