OK, maybe atypical pneumonia (he had a low grade fever fri/sat/today - but only off and on, not consistently). Maybe just plain old exacerbation of heart failure (probably)but it was so fast and so dramatic in terms of extreme shortness of breath. Maybe a blood clot that started in his legs and traveled to his lung (unlikely) but they have to check everything out - and we did travel wed and thurs, so while unlikely due to him being on blood thinners, he is down right now getting the scan. They are going to give him an IV diuretic to get some of the fluid off. I think that will help. Hopefully he'll only be here a couple of days!
