Hi all,

ORIGINAL: Chickenboy

Also, my father was admitted to the hospital last night. As good timing would have it, he was visiting a pulmonologist (lung specialist) for a nagging cough that he'd had for a couple weeks. They took his blood O2 reading (pulse oximetry) and found he had a PaO2 of 78% in the office (normal = 97-99.5%). These levels are incompatible with life. He was immediately transported to the hospital and is undergoing treatment there. When last I spoke with my mother, he had stabilized. We'll see how the night went...

He's 81 this year, so fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed Andre - best wishes!

In other, less important news, Japan is back (this time it's his "Rudolf" persona)...

Thanks guys. Dad is stabilized at PaO2=95% when he's on pure O2. They'll look to transition him over to air the next few days whilest identifying / treating the underlying cause of the pulmonary edema. He's stable for now and back in a 'wait and see' approach. Tincture of time and all that.

Looks like a false alarm. Nashvillen just resurrected a 2 year old thread that Helmut started as Rudolf. [:D]
