Asking for prayers or good vibes again for my friend, Tom.

He has been in the hospital for 7 days now. He admitted himself to the Emergency room because his left lung, (where he had radiation treatment for stage 3 inoperable lung cancer), keeps filling up with fluid. They are on their third go removing fluid...more than 2 Liters so far.

They say they don't know what is causing it.

PLEASE send all your good thoughts, good vibes and/or PRAYERS to the doctors who are treating him. If I could, I would request that those doctors receive Divine guidance, so that they will figure out what is wrong, and figure out how to fix it.

Update:

My friend Tom has finally been moved out of the hospital into another rehab facility. (The second one in this process). He is still very weak, but actually spoke to me on the phone, so I know he is a lot better.

He was moved from the hospital to a nursing home, originally, and there he caught the flu.

He had the flu, which segued into pneumonia. During THAT escalation, he had an outbreak of COPD. THEN he caught C Difficile, (a super bug), but the doctors found that very early and nipped it in the bud.

During all of this, he had to have the fluid drained from his lungs every three days, which is extremely painful.

One of the nurses at the rehab told him to allow himself time to recover, because he has really been through a LOT.

His family are finally, FINALLY stepping up and they are going to go into his mobile home and clear out the living room area, so that a visiting nurse will be able to enter and drain fluid from his lungs after he is released from rehab.

Different members of his family have been in to see him at the hospital and at the rehab almost every single day...and I am so relieved. At times I felt as though he REALLY needed them and they were just totally absent.
