May 15, 2024- 2nd entry

End of day update:

Kevin called me at 9am to say dad was having chest pain, and pain all over. He also was shivering and freezing. I got to his house and he was in bed. He didn't want to go anywhere. I explained that he had a scheduled procedure today that NEEDED to be done to make him more comfortable. He refused for me to call 911, so we managed to get him in the car and to St. Raphael's campus for the IR appointment. When we checked in to IR he started to shiver so we went straight to the ED. 
He had a full work up done in the ED as you can imagine. EKG was negative for any cardiac events. His temp was elevated and he had a chest XR that is positive for infection. He is being treated with IV antibiotics/ IV fluids for pneumonia + possible sepsis. He was admitted to the ICU step down unit at St. Raphael's campus (Yale New Haven Health). He will be here until he stabilizes and we can figure out a plan to get him comfortable/ back home. 
Please keep the prayers going!! XOX
