Hello everyone. Well it has been one month since he was admitted. There were no changes today. His breathing was the same and all his stats stayed the same. Unfortunately, that is why the doctors think we need to take some sort of action. One doctor sat down with me and said that the team feels that going into his chest and removing all the gunk from around the lung will make a huge difference. This is a big risk because dad is not very strong and the chance of him not making through surgery is higher that we would like. I am sitting down with two surgeons and a few doctors tomorrow morning to discuss exactly what they feel needs to happen. There have been many little things they have been doing to try to make him better but so far nothing has worked. The antibiotics, changing all the lines and draining the fluid from his chest has not solved the problem and they think this is the only thing that may help. The other worry is that if we wait too much longer he will just get weaker and the option for surgery will pass. Tomorrow is going to be a though day, and I thank everyone for being there to support me. The prayers will be very important this week and I know my dad wants to be here and he will fight, but a little help from god will make all the difference.
