Update #23

Recent activity has really shed a certain light on dads condition. What I mean by that is that dads recent complications have just comfirmed the severity of dads illness. The virus alone is miserable and Is what drove dads health to its current condition. With dads current condition , pre existing conditions and the strength/infection of covid 19 dads body is heavily damaged. Dads pre-existing medical challenges have been amplified and current stump his progression today.

Dads emergency chest tube has been a massive game changer in his overall health. Doctors were able to see things called blebs in his chest walls on both lungs. These are similar to cyst, but May also have an infection embedded inside of them. They are strong to believe that one of these blebs May have burst causing an airway pathway to communicate between the walls where they don’t belong Hence the pneumothorax . In addition the doctors feel strongly about his right Lung having a tear some where possibly causing the pneumothorax.

With this situation the Tracheostomy Will unfortunately not make a difference. I am unsure if the meeting on Tuesday will still move forward or is even necessary.

As it stands, dad is one of the rare patients that’s is running into alot of the complications. Statistics show many move forward from this but one cannot forget to point out how severe dads lung conditions are.

Doctors and staff are in a holding pattern due to the pneumothorax and complications that dad is experiencing From this. The virus has affected many parts of dads body and we are seeing the wrath of it now.

Dads levels are currently stable and controlled. We are forced to wait and see what happens the next few days and see the next course of action.

Till next time ...
