Our dad has had an MRI and a CT today. He has had a few small strokes in his cerebral hemispheres (caused by clots- not bleeds). The main focus of the doctors is treating his pneumonia right now while keeping him sedated and his blood pressure under control. Pictures were taken of his lungs and his pneumonia is very serious. They were able to take some cultures from his lungs and are now treating him with two different antibiotics. There have been no changes in his lungs since the pictures were taken yesterday.. which is good. His heart beat is strong and his blood pressure is currently stable.
J'Ali (Jennifer) and I (Mary) are both doing okay. It's been a long week, but we're glad that we're here with our father. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers.
