I was busy working outside today getting some of the old
pane glass basement windows re-glazed when Kris comes outside and tells me she
just got a call from the Arboretum and her dad is going to the ER (or in modern
terms the ED – Emergency Dept.).
Apparently he was having a lot of trouble breathing and when they
checked him he had a fever, so they sent him over to be checked out. So that means we have to stop everything and
go spend a few hours sitting in the ER waiting for the doctors to run tests,
etc. Just what I want to do on a nice
day when I have stuff to do outside.
When we got there we found out that the attendant at the
Arboretum reported that they think he may have choked on something at dinner
and had foreign material in his lungs, which may be causing aspiration
pneumonia. He definitely had a serious
wheezing problem when he breathed. So
after running some tests, they were going to keep him overnight at least. So this is going to lead to him not being
allowed to go back, I just know it.
