Linda Wright5 said:Hey everyone,
It’s with a heavy heart, but a sense of peace, that I’m letting everyone know my sister passed away last night. She went out quietly in her sleep.
She was a true fighter, and honestly, I couldn't be prouder of her.

Linda Wright5 said:Hey everyone,
I'm writing this with a heavy heart—but I'm at peace—to let you all know my sister passed away peacefully in her sleep last night.
She was such a fighter, seriously... I am just so incredibly proud of her.
I’ll still be hanging out here reading your posts, and I'll try to help out where I can, if that's okay.
Hang in there, guys. Just stay strong.

dustyranger11;15091358 said:Hey there. My dad ended up in the ER today—which was actually a shock, considering how quickly they took him in—because he started choking. It was either some kind of tumor wrapped around his neck or just an overwhelming amount of nasty mucus blocking his airway. They had to perform an emergency tracheotomy immediately. The doctor mentioned he coughed up a massive amount of phlegm, and now they suspect pneumonia might be brewing because of it. I’ve been waiting on the lung scans, but the doctor explained the current images aren't fully conclusive since they were taken right before the procedure; they’ll run more imaging tomorrow. There is definitely inflammation present, which showed up in his blood work (we actually went to the ER yesterday because he was having stomach pains, and after I did a little digging through his lab results online, I realized he already had some sort of infection). They’ve started him on antibiotics, inserted a catheter, and told us he needs to stay strictly bedridden for a few days. That part actually worries me; he’s always been such an active guy, and I honestly don't know if he'll bounce back as quickly if he stays stationary for this long. Plus, I'm terrified he's going to pull out all those wires and tubes hooked up to him. The staff said I should only visit briefly because he needs total rest, but if he hadn't made it to the hospital today, he surely would have suffocated. I’m dreading what my favorite doctor 😠 will say during his rounds tomorrow,
I can already see him grumbling about why my dad didn't just go to Morocco instead. Honestly, though, the doctors on duty today and yesterday were fantastic; they really exceeded my expectations.
Just being by his side is enough. The most important thing is that the medical team did their job effectively.
My dad isn't exactly thrilled about being hospitalized either; he gets so incredibly cranky whenever we have to bring him to the hospital, but I'll do whatever I can to make things easier for him.
Just focus on being there for him as his support system, and leave the rest in God's hands.
Wishing you all the best—stay strong!

It was either some kind of tumor wrapped around his neck or just an unbearable amount of mucus blocking his airway. They had to perform an emergency tracheotomy immediately, and the doctor mentioned that a significant amount of phlegm was cleared out, though they suspect pneumonia might be developing because of it. I’ve been waiting on the chest X-rays, but the doctor explained that the current images aren't fully conclusive since they were taken before the procedure; they'll have to scan him again tomorrow. There is definitely an infection present, which we caught from his bloodwork... we actually went to the ER yesterday because he was having stomach pains, and while I was scrolling through his lab results, I realized there was an underlying inflammation all along. They've started him on antibiotics, inserted a catheter, and instructed him to remain strictly bedridden for a few days. That part is what worries me most, as he has always been such an active man, and I fear if he stays down this long, he won't bounce back as quickly as he used to. I am also anxious about all those wires and tubes connected to him... They told me my visits should be brief because he needs total rest, noting that if he hadn't made it to the hospital when he did, he certainly would have suffocated. I am dreading what my favorite doctor, 😠 who has been treating him, will say during rounds tomorrow...
I can already picture him grumbling about why my father was admitted to this ward instead of being sent to Morocco. Honestly, though, the doctors on duty today and yesterday were surprisingly competent and actually quite pleasant...
