When I talked with Abe last evening, he said the thoracic surgeon had been in to see him. He saw him yesterday rather then today. He does not want to do surgery at this time. Apparently they have some technique there they put something into the lung to help patch it?? He would like to try that first. Abe wasn't feeling too well last evening, he was still nauseated from the pain medication they had given him. Since he had not eaten anything, he was having the dry heaves. Then he couldn't use the bathroom, so they inserted a catheter. I think he was so up tight from the not being able to breathe that his whole body just reacted. He said it felt like he was being smothered and I know that is a very panicky feeling. I haven't called him yet this morning. Wanted him to get a good nights sleep. Well keep you all posted.

Am sorry to hear about Abe......do wish him a speedy recovery.he will be remembered in my prayers.
I just called him mom and he sounded horrible...and said he was having a lot of pain and difficulty breathing again. I asked him if he told the nurse and he said yes...that they had been in there working on him. I tried to call you again on your cell but you must have had it turned off.
I am thinking of you both this morning. You are in my prayers.
God bless Abe.I'll keep him and you Patty,in my prayers.
Thanks for the continued update patty. Give my love and best wishes to your wonderful Hubby.

Hey Patty, you give a big old hug from me to Abe (not too tight of course)Our thoughts are with you both, tell that old soldier to keep on soldiering on!!
Love Martin, Jackie and the boys!
Please give Abe my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope you are keeping well take care of yourself.
Hi Patty, Do send Abe our best wishes and hope he feels better, I know how it feels to not be able to get breath,hope that gets better very soon.
I hate that he has had to go through this! I am reading backwards...present to past posts....and now that he has that treatment, it looks like he is doing better. I am so glad! I know you are relieved, too! Nice that you have your daughters close by....what would we do without our kids?
Still praying for Abe a full recovery and coming home soon. Tell him the leftovers are better, anyhow. We always enjoy it more the second day...maybe it's because all the work is over with.
(((((( HUGS ))))))
