My dad is 92 and at home with my mom. He has had pneumonia and still goes and does social things but then tires out. They x-rayed his lungs and it has gotten worse, not better. I wonder why they don't drain his. ...Hang in there. That doesn't sound easy.Thanks Trala. I hadn't posted the most recent update about my Mom in the last few days. Unfortunately she was back in over the weekend with breathing issues, came home for a couple days and went back in early Thursday morning with fluid on the lungs. They did a drainage procedure yesterday morning, and took a full liter of fluid out. Still waiting on several tests since then on the fluid, hoping it wouldn't start to fill again, but chest xrays this morning shows it's building up again. The pulmonologist was quite honest with us on what may happen. They are going to try another drain tomorrow morning, but he says it will probably continue to build.
At this point we are preparing for the worst, with her age and condition.....the prognosis is very poor.
