Thanks. I could do the club soda and lime!
And yeah, I was thinking a cheese tray...
But I don't want to be the DD, 'cause then I'll have to go listen to the country music

Wish there was some of that on my steak right now.

So we got a 3am phone call from one of Surfer Son's traveling buddies dad. Surfer Son is in the hospital!
They were going surfing and Surfer Son didn't feel well, so he turned around and paddled back to shore. He passed out 2 feet from shore. He was blue. They had to do CPR. They took him to a hospital. It wasn't big enough. They took him to another. I called his travel insurance. They called the hospital. He's had X-rays. Some water in his lungs. He's on IV and oxygen and stable. In and out of consciousness. He might be transferred yet again.

Don't know why he passed out. 2 days ago he told me his throat was sore and he saw a Dr and was on antibiotics.

I have the hospital number, but can't seem to get through to them.

I feel so helpless.

Praying.....

I am praying for your son and you Winencandy. Remember, you can only do what you can do. Peace.

Thank you ladies

and although I DID make it all the way through last night girls' night at the country bar with NO alcohol and NO sugar...thus earning myself 2 stickers,

that MAY not happen today...

Update:
Just heard from the insurance nurse. The report is "concerning". They are calling it a near drowning. They were moving him to a larger hospital so that's why we couldn't find out anything sooner. His heart rate and bp are good, (I can give #'s if you want) but they are still giving him oxygen. He's still in and out of consciousness and has no memory of it. We will get another update in about an hour.

Seriously considering a flight to Peru.

[marcadav]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'd be considering a flight too if I were in your place.

[Pedidoc]

I'd be checking flights..... We can compare BPs. Moms was 40/10 and asystole for "a bit" according to report.
