Dad's currently at the DCH Regional hospital in Tuscaloosa. He's had a rough week with increased fatigue and pain. Mom took him to the hospital this morning and his lungs are full of fluid again. They're in the process of removing the fluid. Dad's wanting to come home after the procedure. They may keep him overnight. I'll let you know more when I find something out.
Update: 4:00
I just got off the phone with dad. They drained 2 1/3 liters of fluid off his right lung. They left a little of the fluid in there because they were worried about his lung collapsing. They're keeping him overnight in room 639. They will do X-Rays in the morning to see if the fluid has built back up. If it hasn't, they will let him go home. He said he was feeling better since they drained the fluid. He sounded better on the phone. He hadn't had anything to eat all day so he's about to eat something.
I'll keep you posted,
Please keep dad in your thoughts and prayers,
Thanks,
