he developed a sharp pain in his lung and is having trouble breathing due to the pain. doc said lungs sound good, though.

Better to go on Friday afternoon than to let him get worse over the weekend.

Hope they can find the right meds to get him well!

came in because he's having a sharp pain when he breathes and can't really breathe because of it.

i just want him to feel better.

I just finished nursing an elderly relative through a bout of walking pneumonia. Lasted for weeks.

It took some strong antibiotics to finish it off.

Hope he's better soon.

doc said his lungs sound pretty good. he developed a sharp pain when he breathes and is having a hard time breathing because of it.

at least the pain meds are kicking in.

My best to your husband and to you. Take care of yourself. Caregivers work so hard.

IV antibiotics and maybe breathing treatments should take care of this.

My best to him, and you!
