Father Carley was admitted to the hospital.  Evidently he has fluid in his right lung, low sodium, and edema (swelling) of his feet and lower legs.  They'll be doing various tests, but those symptoms remind me of what my father had when he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.  After the diagnosis of CHF, he lived for nearly another 4 years before he finally passed away.  Just speculation, though, but I got the impression they're looking into it.

Reportedly Father refused a COVID test, which is good.  I'd be concerned that if he had tested "positive", they might have tried to give him the old Remdesivir treatment, aka death sentence.

Bingo. I was at St. Vincent's when this all happened.  Apparently there were a good number of parishioners that were alarmed that Father had been admitted to the hospital for pneumonia that they were flooding the rectory inbox with emails warning not to allow the hospital covid protocol to take place and to offer suggestions for altenative treatment options.  This is apparent because we were told shortly thereafter, from the pulpit, by Fr. Goldade, to refrain from calling and emailing regarding Father's condition, and that he was very confident that he was being given the best medical treatment available. This was a very sad and frustrating situation because it is then that we knew Father was not going to have an advocate fighting for him in the hospital and that he was probably going to be murdered by the hospital protocol.  It still makes me very upset to this day to think about it.
