Kent is in the hospital tonight. 😔 Ruthann and I took him to the ER @ 1 pm because he was having a difficult time breathing. We had him on 5L of O2 and his sats were still in the low 80's.
Several tests were done in the ER, ( BMP, PTT, Troponin level, Covid test, BNP, CBC, cell count, chest x-ray, and an EKG). The final diagnosos: congestive heart failure. We were told that this is very common after a heart attack. There is no cure, but they can treat the symptoms. Kent will be staying for a couple of nights. They are going to give him Lasix, (a water pill) around the clock. They gave him a catheter so he can sleep. Please keep him in your prayers.
