Monitoring Dennis

Dennis has been waking up gurgling almost every morning for the past two weeks. Today, when I came home from my workout, he was in bed. When I left he was planning on going to the Courage Center for his own workout.

We have been pumping water into his g-tube constantly, and he has been using the nebulizer almost daily, but he is still gurgling. We are monitoring his oxygen level, and it's low, but not "frightfully" low. He has a temp, but not an "alarmingly" high temp.

We are trying to avoid going to the hospital, but I think he may be on the verge on bacterial pneumonia once again.

Aargghhhh.

Until later,
Ann and Dennis
