Just to keep us all singing from the same songbook, I thought that it would  
be a good idea to fill everyone in on what is happening with Uncle Al.
Al was scheduled for some testing Thursday evening and developed problems  
with his breathing.  They took him to Robert Wood Johnson Emergency room  and he 
ended up being admitted.
The condition is called Congestive Heart Failure and actually sounds a lot  
worse than it is.
It simply means that there is fluid in the lungs and that interferes with  
the body processing oxygen.
He is now undergoing some tests as they adjust his medications.
He will be on a blood thinner as well as medication that makes you get rid  
of excess fluids.
I visited with him both yesterday and today, and he looks good and is very  
relaxed.
My thoughts are that he will probably be released Tuesday, but that is my  
thought.
As far as the CHF (congestive heart failure) goes, quite a few of us,  myself 
included live with this.
If you want to give him a call the number is (732) 937 4200.
Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
