I spent a couple of hours last night in the emergency room with my grandma and my great-aunt Sal, who happens to work in the ER. My grandpa was taken by ambulance to the ER from the nursing home he lives at because he was having trouble breathing and was very lethargic.
He has some sort of respiratory infection and had a fever but seemed to be feeling better after they pumped him full of Tylenol and antibiotics. He'll probably be staying overnight there for a couple of days.
It's a surreal experience to see the man who gave you whisker rubs and snowmobile rides and who could make and fix anything in his woodshop looking so small and helpless in his hospital bed, hooked up to machines.
Get better soon, grandpa.

How's it going with this? Things better now? How scary!
Thanks for asking. He's doing better. He had a partially collapsed lung and they put a chest tube in to ease the pressure and drain the fluids from his lung. They've since taken it out and now it's time to get him up and moving. I'm hoping he'll be out of the hospital by the end of the week. :)
