April 20, 2009

Hello all! I apologize for not writing in a while but things have been a little hectic. I was going to wright last night when the hospital called and said he was not doing well. They told me his blood pressure was down, he was not breathing very good and they could not wake him up. So Ron and I ran down there and sat with him for a while. It turned out that they had given him too much morphine and it was affecting all his stats. It is also why they were having a really hard time getting him to wake up. I am really upset that they are making mistakes like this and I will be having a meeting with the medical team tomorrow.

Today he was really good. He was not on any pain killers just a few Tylenol, and he was actually doing better than when they drugged him up. He is talking like crazy and is putting all his effort into getting out of the bed. It does get very frustrating when I cant understand what he is saying, but we are both trying to be more patient. (Mostly me). He is still fighting these strands of pneumonia and they say that it will be two weeks on antibiotics.

I had a wonderful vacation but it is good to be back. Thank you all for continuing to support and pray for us. Dad has a long way to go but I have so much hope that he will be fine.
