What happend

This all started early Saturday morning. Friday Shirlee went to Utah for her granddaughters wedding and Tiffany went and stayed with Howard to take care of him. Everything was going good till about 4 in the morning when he said he was feeling nauseous. Without getting into a lot of gory details he started vomiting a lot. We where thinking that he caught the same stomach bug that has been going around and the fact that Tiffany's son Cameron had it last week and was taken to the hospital for his extreme vomiting we thought he had gotten that. Called some family who are in the medical field to see if we needed to take Howard to the hospital but everyone thought it was this same virus and that it would pass. Shirlee got home Saturday mid morning and took back the daily duties of taking care of Howard. We had all thought he was starting to get better however early Sunday morning he wasn't doing good. They called the ambulance to take him in. After all day of tests and waiting they decided that Howard had pneumonia and they would admit him to the hospital. Monday was another day of tests and waiting as everyone knows the hospital is not fast.
It is now Thursday and what we know is that for some reason when he swallows liquids it doesn't all go down the right tube. Some of the liquid goes into his lungs. The muscle that we have that would make us choke if we where to have that happen isn't working correctly. We are not 100% sure if that is related to the Parkinson's however it is a good possibility. They have now started giving him stuff that thickens up the liquids so that doesn't happen anymore. He is still on heavy antibiotics for the infection that he has with him being sick it has messed up one of the medications he is on for regulating how thin or thick his blood gets. Since he had a valve in his heart replaced many years ago that is one of the many meds that he is on and they are trying to get that regulated.
There is also talk of possibly installing a pace maker. We are still waiting to talk to the heart Doctor about that to get more information and as soon as we have some we will pass it on to everyone through this blog. For the most part he is in good spirits. Truthfully he is doing better than he was yesterday even though he may not always think so.
We want to thank everyone for there thoughts and prayers on behalf of Howard Shirlee and there family. If you would like to leave any comments for Shirlee or Howard please feel free to do so and Shirlee and I will make sure that Howard gets them. The Doctors remain optimistic however there is a long road ahead to recover. Will update again tomorrow unless we find something else out tonight.
