Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. Greg was shoveling after a light snow on Thursday Feb 14th when he started having trouble getting his breath. throughout that day and the next, he experienced the shortness of breath, a little dizziness when rising and a dry cough. on Friday Linda talked him into going to urgent care. once checked in and having his vitals looked at, they discovered that his oxygen levels were low which earned him a trip to the ER. After a few hours in ER (they were very busy), he was admitted to a hospital room where he was told he had a heart murmur and some fluid in the lungs.
