Just got off the phone with Ernie Borraga (Ernie Wayne) and he is not doing well. He is at Audobon hospital on Poplar Level getting ready to be put in ICU. Ran alot of tests but not sure what is causing his blood pressure to be so high and can't get down. We know he has pneumonia also. He's still in emergency room waiting for a room. Will update when i know more. He said this is the worst he's been so that tells me it's really bad.

Update on Ernie Borraga. They finally got his blood pressure down. He has pneumonia in his right lung. Is in room OHU2. They are doing dialyis on him this morning. Waiting for test results and more info. Thanks everyone for all the prayers and nice comments. I know they will pick up his spirits.

Ernie is in the heart unit on the 2nd floor. They gave him a breathing treatment while i was there. They have him on oxygen. They also did a Ecogram on his heart. I watch but had no idea what it was showing. He was headed for more test when i was leaving. They have his blood pressure stabilized for now. Still don't know what the problem is with the blood pressure. This is all i know.

Just got to hospital and they are taking Ernie Borraga down at 2:30 and put under. They are going to put a scope in to look at his right lung. Then are going to clean it. Not sure what any of this means.

Just got home and Ernie Borraga (Ernie Wayne) doing better. Was getting to eat something finally. Dr said he did great, sucked off stuff from lung. Took some and sent off for test on it. Going to do dialysis early in the morning. I think they are going to try and ween him off of the oxygen. Blood pressure still a little high and giving him shots for it.

sounds like he doing better

Thanks Bob! I had to change my password on FB, after that I quit seeing Ernie's posts. Thought about calling to check on him, but thought he might be in Dialysis. Glad to hear he's feeling better.....some better.

I'll keep an eye on this thread. Get well soon Ernie!!
 
Just back and getting caught up.

Thanks for starting the thread - I'll keep watching.

Ernie, you are in Nancy's and my thoughts!
 
I just spoke to Ernie himself. (I called to get his room number and they said I could talk to him).

He sounded in reasonable good spirits. All of the above are accurate; Blood Pressure, Pneumonia, Right Lung issues.

He indicated he is starting to feel better. The nurse had just arrived for "nurse thingies," so it was just a quick call.

I told him all his friends on IAP were thinking of him.

Thanks Mark. Welcome back!
 
update on Ernie from his mother

Went and checked on Ernie Borraga. Had to wait as he was having dialysis. When he got back to his room he was tired and in a foul mood. He looked better today. He got cleaned up and they changed his bed and he was in a better mood. Still no results from any of the tests but they should be taking the oxygen mask off soon. He is hoping he goes home this weekend but I doubt it. Thanks everyone for caring.
 
Ernie and I chatted earlier today.

Yes, he is back home. He said he was feeling much better, albeit, very tired.

He sounded good, and is taking every day - one at a time.
 
Thanks for the thoughts guys. This one was really rough. Turns out I had pneumonia and a severe lung infection. I'm out now but only feel about 50%. I have a bunch of Dr's appointments this week to keep me on the mend. I'm still amazed at all the well wishes I received. Thanks again!!
