He was taken to Childrens Hospital Monday night for a severe asthma attack, we just found out today that it developed into pneumonia, and an hour ago he was put on a respirator because he can not breathe on his own. These past two days have been hell. ---

last week i was taken to the hospital at 5 a.m. because i woke up having a severe asthma attack. i havent had one in over 5 years and it just came out of nowhere. it sucks man, i know exactly what hes going though right now. iv been sick these past couple of days and i hope im not developing the same thing. i think what triggered my attack was when my dad kicked on the furnace and it started blowing shit from the basement upstairs. iv been using my inhaler on a regular basis since then and it was def a scary moment for me. i couldnt breathe at all and no matter what i did, nothing worked. i hope everything works out for him though, ill be praying for him. ---

My g/f is recovering from pneumonia right now actually. It was never bad enough to put her in the hospital, but has been a shitty couple of weeks. I’m sure he’ll be fine… Unless he’s Bernie Mac… Too soon? ---

^ lmao ass. He’s still on the ventilator as of this morning, from what the nurse told me, he could be for the next 2 weeks. They are starting him on a Isoflourine treatment, which will basically relax his smooth muscle airways and hopefully in turn let him breathe on his own again. It’s all a waiting game as to when his body let’s the treatments start to work. ---
