He is now 56 years old. He has not had any recurrent CP, but has had to sleep with 3 pillows to keep from becoming SOB at night the last 2 weeks. He has had difficulty getting his shoes on the last month because of increased swelling around his ankles. He forgets to take his medications every day but does at least 4-5 times a week. He weighs himself once a week and today his weight has increased from 255 lbs. to 264 lbs. the last 7 days. He makes an appt. through his clinic when he becomes concerned that he is now becoming SOB at rest and is more fatigued. The clinic physician recognizes that he will need acute inpatient care and coordinates a direct admission to the hospital by EMS.
