It's not looking good for my FIL

After being transferred to the rehab center where he was finally cleaned up and shaved the speech therapist came in to work with him and didn't like the sound of the cough he has had. After speaking to the nurse they decided he needed to go back to the hospital. And in fact he does have pnemonia. DH's older sister who works nights went up to see him on her way home this morning and she said that he is very weak. He realized that she was there and asked for my husband and when she was leaving he asked her to look after her mom. Maybe he's trying to let us all know something. Please continue to keep him and the family in your prayers.

Oh, my that doesn't sound good at all, Susan. I am surprised the hospital did not pick up on FIL's cough. Prayers for strength to get through this time.

I saw your post below about getting more blood drawn and the good bp. Are you on meds for it or did it go down by itself? Hope the news from the doc's office is good. I hate when they leave messages like that.

Good luck with everything.

I'm sorry to hear of his continuing struggles. It sounds like he was clear-headed when he made his request of your SIL. Prayers of strength to everyone.
