Haven't seen any doctors yet. Gary didn't sleep much in the hospital as you never do when they are in and out of your room all night. He's in good spirits but very tired and still having difficulty breathing when he is up and around. Ill keep you posted.
I got in bed about 2:00 AM. Woke up at 7:00 and came back to the hospital. I'm really tired. Hope the doc comes by soon so I can go home and take a nap.

Oh Gayle. I'm so sorry. I know how you feel. I got 'that feeling' in my stomach just reading your post. Please let us know what they find when you get a chance. Love you.

Good news. Gary is just in fluid overload due to his heart failure. This happens occasionally in heart failure. I wish it didn't but it does. We can usually prevent it from happening but we didn't catch it this time. Also he may have caught a virus that made it worse. He didn't have any symptoms but did run a low grade fever. This, combined with riding in the car for 12 hours over 2 days didn't help either. Then he was eating more salty foods, I'm sure, as we were eating family prepared meals or eating out. I think it was just a confluence of these factors that caused him to retain too much fluid and overwhelm his heart.
He's already feeling so much better. I expect he'll be here a couple of days. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

I'm so glad it wasn't worse! I hope they get the fluid off him quickly, and I hope you get plenty of rest tonight.
