The last few weeks have had their ups and their downs. To make a long story short, Dad has heart attack, mom rushes him to hospital. Dad gets transferred to City and gets stent put in. Dad has too many blockages now and needs a bypass. He waits in hospital to be transferred to Mazankowski clinic. He gets transferred and gets triple bypass. He doesn't do well after the surgery, is bleeding too much, bad vitals and almost dies. He finally comes out of the induced sleep better and blood starts to clot. He starts to sit up and talk, gradually gets the million tubes and wires taken out and bodily functions start up again. Woo hoo!
So things are looking up. I will be glad to not see either of those hospitals for a while even though the staff were amazing and so nice. I'm also glad to know that my dad may have been given some extra years to enjoy life because of the great work they do. I know that many of my friends that are even younger than me have lost a parent and so I feel really grateful and relieved that I get to spend more time with my dad.
Sounds like it was scary for a while, glad to hear he is on the road to recovery.
ReplyDeleteGood news about your dad Tammy! I'm glad he is doing better.
ReplyDeleteOh Tammy sound like it has been difficult. Yuck! I am glad to hear that things seem to be looking up. I'll keep your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteTake care Tammy, I have been thinking about you everyday. Hugs to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteThanks all, things are looking up, I appreciate your warm thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI saw the tray of food, and flashed back to my dad's stays in the hospital. They are draining on the heart, and the soul. I am glad to hear he is doing great, and that he can you give sage wisdom on car repairs for many years to come :)
