Eric is moving into a new place over the weekend....and Art went up this morning to help him.
When I talked to Eric this morning - he did not sound good at all. It was obvious he was having an asthma attack and he simply said it had started earlier and he was "resting".
I spoke to him about 10 pm tonight....he slept this afternoon since he works graves and while he did sleep some - the attack did NOT let up. He is out of his inhalers....although he was going to try to take some Primatene tablets which have helped attacks were less major. He also happened to mention that it started at 4:30 am.
So for about 18 hours...he'd been having issues breathing - he said he was taking about 1/4 to 1/3 breaths of what he normally breathes.
Can I go up there and kick his rear? He doesn't really know much about his medical insurance for work although he does have some..... Art and I talked after Eric called in to work to get someone to cover him....and Art is taking him to the ER for a treatment.
I'm heading to bed...I'm wiped out and need the sleep and there is nothing I can do from here....I can't kick my son in the butt when he's 200 miles away.
But for anyone who believes in praying - sending good thoughts - whatever - please do so.
I don't think Eric has had an attack this bad in quite a long while. I am hoping the hospital doesn't admit him and they can get it under control in the ER.
Eric is supposed to text me tonight from his cell phone - so I'll update this thread when I get up in the morning..
