Thomas, the son of my friend, Karen, is in the hospital in springfield, OR with covid induced pheumonia which has infected his heart and GI tract. The doctors are most concerned with his heart as their is some damage and pumping efficiency has been compromised. He is making a slow, but steady recovery and likely will be hospitalized for at least 2 weeks.
- Update on Thomas. Today, he is completely off the oxygen and was able to move around his hospital room. He is responding well to his heart medication and small possibility he could go home tomorrow. The family thanks everyone for their prayers and asks for additional prayers for his continued recovery.
- Update on Thomas. He was readmitted on Dec 17 for swelling & shortness of breath related to his heart failure. He had a heart catheterization which showed that there was no more damage to his heart. Hid medication in being adjusted and he should go home soon. He is being referred to a cardiac center in Portland Oregon for a followup.
