Eileen is in the hospital. Thankfully the x-ray did not show pneumonia was present. I'm sure she will be better soon, but I don't think a few prayers on her behalf would hurt.
If you would like to send a card, you can send it to this address:
Eileen Dulude
25 Devens Street Apt.#5
Greenfield, MA 01301
Her daughter said she would take them to her.

Eileen's daughter, Megan, sent this to me yesterday.
"From what I understand, they are planning on keeping her another day (and maybe a couple more after that). My mom slept ok last night but had a lot of coughing. They gave her morphine and that was able to keep her from panicking from the shortness of breath. I guess at this point they are just going to wait it out and see how she does on the steroids and antibiotics. They are not kidding when they say nurses make the worst patients
."
Eileen called me yesterday, but unfortunately I was out. Rocky spoke to her, and he said she sounded better than the day before.
I will let you know if I hear more.

Here is an update on Eileen from her daughter.
She was released from the hospital yesterday morning. I know that she spent most of the day sleeping because she had such terrible rest at the hospital. I'm sure she'll be in touch soon.
I can't say that I am convinced it was time for her to leave, but the lack of sleep was definitely driving her crazy

Yes, I did make it home on Thursday. I wouldn't have minded staying another couple of days but between the IV steroids and the constant noise, I didn't get much of a rest in the hospital. One of the things that they did differently this time was to give me IV morphine for shortness of breath and it was a huge help in alleviating the suffocating feeling and the panic that kind of seeps into coughing fits where you can't catch your breath.
It felt so good to get home and be all wrapped up in my family and neighbors' love and attention. I am so spoiled!!! They filled my fridge so I don't have to cook, and they all made me feel so loved and taken care of. My heart is full. And on top of that, to know that my friends here were rooting for me and thinking of me, well, that's all frosting on the cake!
I can't say I'm feeling a whole lot better yet, but I can see signs that I'm getting there. My body will just have to take the time to heal in its own way and time schedule and I will have to just do things in small steps for a while. But I'm used to that.
Thank-you so much for your care and support!!!! I could never do this alone!!
