For those of you who expressed concern after he went in the hospital last Friday, he's supposed to be released today, but is coming home in a weaker state than when he left. He's on oxygen full-time now because taking him off for even brief moments can leave him with wracking coughs that further deplete his oxygen saturation. It was such a cough last Friday that caused him to pass out and hit his head on the refrigerator, resulting in the hospital stay and several stitches.
Home care is going to be challenging because my mom has limited mobility and can't do a lot of things for him. We're trying to work out the details on all of that. Lots of difficulties ahead.
Your prayers are appreciated, and if you'd like to drop a note of encouragement to HolyCoast Dad, you can send an email here.

It sounds as though you are all facing a very challenging time, most especially your dad. I have been through difficult medical issues with loved ones and have an idea how it feels. My good wishes and prayers to all of you.
Best wishes,
Laura
I've kinda been down this road with in-law and one of my parents.
Your dad and mom and you and family are now in my prayers.
