He said he talked with his daughters and they decided he needed his rest. The older children spoke with him on the phone briefly. Family lives just a couple of miles down the road. The girls brought over dinner to their parents. His voice was weak when I spoke with him this afternoon. The DRs considered keeping him but he has a sleep disorder and sleeps in a specially made chair (like Nikk)

He too has just gone through the “popular” heart tests this fall. What’s going on with all these men and their breathing/heart?

It would be interesting to compare meds and see if there is something in common?

Their family and friends, in the past died young or way before their time. Today doctors look for signs and people also are more aware. Many people in the past should have been on sleep machines apparently. I use one when my breathing is labored some from asthma. I don't use a mask..I let the open air hose hit my face while I sleep or sit to calm my breathing. It works wonders. That way I don't have to use an inhaler nearly as much. Inhalers really play havoc on ones bones.

Thanks. I hope he feels better soon. It seems like a lot of men have heart troubles this time of year. Maybe shoveling snow?

I also heard overeating Rich food and sweets can contribute.

Sounds like a very caring family. Young children often carry virus from school. His immune system is most probably low and as Rusty too...being around many people really puts one in a chancy situation.
