Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 JoAnn has pulmonary fibrosis really bad, his siblings all died from this in their 60's is 67 yrs old he also has emphysema the both of them is dangerous at this time.... his lungs are filling up fast and blocking his oxygen from getting to his body.. I am scared for him I was there when his sister died of this same thing..He was the baby of 9 kids and they are all gone and now he is getting worse by the day..He was getting 1.5 oxygen in his lungs that is what the setting were and the Dr put him to an 8 and said that it would only be going up.. now I also know that times have changed and the Dr's know more now to keep these people alive... So with God's help and the Dr's maybe they will be able to keep him alive for a while.. he is getting verbally mean... It is all I can do to yell at him but I don't I just have to realize that he is scared too.. Today I have trouble breathing, has me with one of his canisters and a nasal canula I am up to a 3 and feel better for now, I have had my oxygen level last week drop to 63 myself but to busy to go to the Dr to get help, I am just getting my self psyched out for my surgery Thursday , we will try again to get this pain pump in... I hope that you had a good day today How is doing? I hope that she is not suffering with too much pain... love ya... Jeanne %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Knowing is not enough: We must apply!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Jeanne = Wish you were feeling better. I'm concerned about your blood oxygen levels....and hope that your doc is aware of this. Please be sure to give him/her a call so that they can improve things for you before the surgery.
