Aspiration Pneumonia

He has aspiration pneumonia, therefor, he no longer needed the ph probe. They started him on antibiotics last night. He had labored breathing and needed 10 liters of oxygen and saturation was at 89 - 92, by this afternoon he was at 2 liters of oxygen and saturation was at 98, so he is getting better. Once he is better, he will get the Nissin Fundoplication. What an ordeal for something he should of gotten before we left in the first place. Such is life! At least we are at Loma Linda, where we feel at home, and we get to catch up with old friends.
