Dad is in the hospital - turns out what they initially thought was pneumonia is an issue with his aortic valve on his heart. The valve has calcified, and his bloodstream is not able to become oxygenated well, making it difficult to breathe. After an agiogram today, they also discovered another pulmonary vessel which is blocked. Doctors will have more information tomorrow, but meanwhile, Dad is feeling pretty good now that they have him on oxygen, he's eating well, and just hangin' out at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center -- phone #208-529-7424.
