HolyCoast Dad is Back in the Hospital

Subject: HolyCoast Dad Back in the Hospital
Msg: I'm sorry to say that my dad (better known as HolyCoast Dad around these parts) is back in the hospital with complications of the lung disease which has been progressing all year. I'm writing this from the ER where I've been since around noon. He's probably going to be here for a few days. His condition has been growing steadily worse. Prayers would be appreciated.

UPDATE: Dad will be spending at least a few days in the hospital. He has Pulmonary Fibrosis which is a progressive lung disease for which there is no effective treatment. You just get progressively worse, and unfortunately the disease is acting very aggressively in his case. He's been on pretty high flow oxygen for quite awhile now, and even simple movements such as walking across the room can cause terrible coughing fits that drive his oxygen levels way down.

We're hoping this hospital stay won't be too long and perhaps some of the medication changes they're making will help stabilize his condition a little bit. Thanks for all the prayers and concern - we really appreciate it!
