Oh no! You and your family will be in my thoughts.

Well he is still bleeding, but now he is also having heart probs. They still havent taken him off of the ventilator either. Hopefully it will be taken out by tomarrow. hia heart rate is too fast, and is causing concern. Now the docs are worried about possible stroke! I am tired, and cannot see straight anymore, will try to update later!!

More prayers headed out for your dad. I do hope that the worst is now over and that he will be on the road to recovery, even if it is seemingly small steps.

Well I made it home. I saw dad this morning before I left and he looked much better. The internal bleeding seems to have stopped, and they got his Heart rate back to normal, it was about 80-85 BPM today, where as yesterday it was 140-145BPM. They are taking him off the resperator later today, so that is good. He seems to be turning around today. I didnt get to talk to him this morning, cause they still had him knocked out. But I will be going back up to see him in a few days. I feel much better!! Thank you all so far for the parayers, my family appreciates it!!

Well dad is improving, and they took out the breathing tube tuesday, and have taken him out oof ICU to a real room. they have had him out of bed, in a chair, and he was able to eat some last night, his first meal in 6 days! However it stll doent seem like he will be home anytime soon, as he is having a difficult time standing/walking. They are not sure why, but are running some tests. We will be going to visit him this weekend.
