Please keep my mom's husband, Rick, in your prayers, good thoughts, etc.
Rick wasn't feeling good Thanksgiving, & we just thought he was being a whiny male. Yesterday he finally went to the doctor & the doc called my mom saying Rick needed to go to the ER. The doctor personally drove Rick to the ER. His bp was up to 240/140, O2 sats were only 80, lung xrays looked awful, and his hands & feet were very swollen. He was admitted into ICU (one room away from mom's room from 13 weeks ago). My mom was up there all night in her scrubs since she went straight upstairs from work yesterday. (Rick's at her hospital.)
They are continuing today to bring Rick's bp down, he's on oxygen, and he'll have some testing of his heart and kidneys done today. He's obviously very sick and experiencing congestive heart and renal failure. Hopefully the medications he is on will help pull fluid out of his body, keep him comfortable and let his organs heal. If not, Rick will be scheduled for a kidney biopsy to see what should be done next.
I will try to keep updates on here, but until you hear otherwise, your prayers are appreciated.

Oh Kekis, your family has been through so much. You are all in my thoughts and in my heart. I hope Rick responds to the medicines quickly, and makes a full recovery. ((hugs))
Kristen, I hope all turns out well and Rick will feel better soon. I will keep him in my prayers.
