[QUOTE="STM, post: 389836, member: 12827"] No good news about my Uncle Ed. He continues to deteriorate, his blood O2 saturation continues to fall; it is the 70%'s right now. His lungs are filling with fluid so not only can he not get oxygen to his tissues, he cannot expel CO2. This changes the pH in your blood. The kidneys can compensate by changing what they excrete and retain but as they start to fail, all will be lost. It is just a matter of time right now. The docs are just keeping him comfortable now.
