A lot has gone on in the last couple of hours, but I am posting on behalf of my mother and family... Dad (David, and Freddy as some may know him) was found unresponsive and going into respiratory failure. He was taken to Martin Hospital, and he was still unresponsive. His blood pressure had dropped, after backing off some meds, it began to rise again. His white blood count level is elevated significantly, and he has a lot of fluid on his lungs. He isn’t awake, and isn’t responding even without sedation. We are worried about possible mental function afterwords, but that will come in time. There are no beds available at Pikeville Medical, so they are sending him to Highlands Regional until one is available. Thoughts and Prayers are welcome and appreciated as our family face the unknown, and as he is in very critical condition. Thank you. ❤️
*side note as well, they ain’t allowing anyone into the hospital at the moment. And mom is trying to wrap her head around it, so I will try to keep everyone updated as I can.
*update-X-Rays show that he has pneumonia, and still not responsive. He is under sedation, and they won’t know the full extent of mental capacity until he isn’t as heavily sedated.
