Ok so heres the story on my dad- well the short version anyway- it started with difficulty breathing. He got an ambulance ride to the hospital and on the way he coded out. They collapsed one of his lungs giving him CPR(which apparently is not uncommon). Then he had a heart attack. Next he tested positive for the flu, had a temp of 103, and had to be packed in ice. Then he got a blood infection. I forgot to mention he has aortic stenosis (his aortic valve is worn out). He also has 2 clogged arteries. One of those got a stint after his heart attack but he is too sick and too weak to try to fix the other one. All of these issues are causing him to not be able to maintain blood pressure. He is on a medicine for that. A liquid life support. Once my other sister gets here from California and has a chance to see him, we will be stopping that medicine. Please send your good thoughts, juju, prayers, whatever for my family.
