But not in a good way.

Got a call from the nursing home today (where dad's been doing rehab) that he was having trouble breathing and they were sending him to the er. Turns out he has pneumonia. And it's pretty high on the severity scale, so he's in icu for a couple days.

He was supposed to come home next Friday. Not a chance now.

So, to recap - mom can't drive because broken arm and surgery and pain meds, dad's in icu, and I really just want to go home, stuck my fingers in my ears, and pretend this isn't happening right now.

I just need a break. Can I catch a break?

UPDATE:
They still don't know if it really is pneumonia or something else and they are running ALL the tests. He has, so far, managed to stay off the ventilator, so that's great (especially since weaning from a ventilator requires another trach to be put in). He's just sleeping, mostly, but today asked for his glasses and hearing aids, so that's a good sign.
