Pneumonia inot responding to treatment
Step Dad was in a bad car accidental. He is mostly over the trauma of the wreck (head, ribs, vertebra) but he has had pnuemonia in his lungs for several weeks now and it is not responding much to treatment with antibiotics. He smoked for decades (quit 5 years ago) and doctors said his lungs are weakened due to that. Any advice is appreciated!
