Doctors are telling us to wait for 48 hours for the report. My mom and brother are at the hospital waiting for the report. So, wondering what to expect in this stage?

Dear Lucky123,

I am sorry to hear about your dad's condition. I know its worrying but try not to jump ahead. Wait for the blood work and other tests to come back. See your dad and support him the best you can. The most important thing is to see your dad and offer any comfort you can.

Wait to do what?

Have doctors mentioned hospice?

Aside from this episode, is your dad in the late stage of Parkinson's?

I would ask if he's being given antibiotics. Ask to continually check his blood. If he's having issues breathing, they can drain the fluid from his lungs. If he's non-responsible, ask them to pull back on the sedation and let him wake up. The sooner he's moving about the better chance of kicking the pneumonia. The ventilator itself can cause pneumonia. Do not let them push him to his death through forced sedation and blame it on pneumonia. If you do not get answers at this hospital consider transferring him to another hospital, or talk to the CEO. Ask for a second opinion .. always. Best of luck
