Dad's in the hospital

Just posting a quick update. Mom brought Dad into the Paoli hospital this afternoon. His breathing had been labored and his heart rate worrisome in addition to some other unpleasant symptoms. He was calling for Mom about every hour last night so she was so exhausted this morning it took her awhile to get him to the emergency room. They took him right away at the ER. He's on 2 antibiotics for pneumonia in the left lung, oxygen and an IV for dehydration. I talked to Mom as she was going back home to get some rest. Her biggest concern is the fact that they found his glucose levels to be very high which could indicate diabetes. She's trying not to worry too much about this because it would come with a host of complications.
I'm posting this because I left a bunch of messages wondering if anyone had heard from her. Once I finally was able to talk to her she asked me to relay this information to Jen, Cath and anyone else so she could get some rest.
So, please pray!
Thanks.
