It appears that both Mom and Dad are on the mend!!! (Do a little happy dance)
Dad came home from the hospital this afternoon and is resting peacefully at home. He is stiff, but already able to get himself up and walk using his walker. Great Job Dad!!
We had a bit of a scare with Mom on Wednesday. Heather was trying to help Mom get up from her bed and into the bathroom, but Mom couldn't move at all. She had absolutely no strength or muscle control. So the ambulance was called and Mom was admitted to AF Hospital. After a long evening and night with no answers they finally discovered that she has pneumonia. By the amount of fluid in her lungs and her oxygen levels as they were, they say she has had it for several weeks!!!!! Well no wonder she was always short of breath, light headed, and her muscles fatigued to no-end....she had no oxygen! So now they are treating her with an arsenal of IV antibiotics. She should be in the hospital for 3-4 days and then if all goes well she should be coming home after that.

YIKES! I am glad they figured out what was going on and can treat it!
I'm so glad they caught it, at least. That's no good. Pneumonia is scary. Hope she's feeling better soon!
Good heavens. That's a lot to have go on at once. Hang in there. I hope everyone heals quickly.
