Well guys I got to bring him home last night but the news is not all good. They had a heck of a time getting his potassium up. Finally got it up to 3.3 after 2 runs of potassium and with holding all of his water pills. So he is unable to take any diuretics for at least a week. Which means we are probably going to be in trouble before next week is out. He is watching his sodium intake and fluid intake very closely. If he takes the water pills then he can breathe better but his potassium drops so low he goes in to v tach. So we are basically between a rock and a hard place. Plus the company that supplies his cpap stuff called today and they are picking up the oxygen next week but stated that the lung doctor wants him to continue to use the cpap. I have a feeling that we are in for a long hard road again, either that or he is going to say enough is enough. I am going to do some checking on a alaskan vacation as he has always said that he would love to go there again before he dies, don't know if it will be within my budget but I got to try. I feel so helpless otherwise. Maybe at least I can do that for him. |
