Hey everybody, if you have a moment when you read this, please keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers. He went to work this morning and after feeling really dizzy, a co-worker took him to the ER at Madigan. While waiting, he passed out. They did some tests and apparently he had a few small ulcers, and one larger in this digestive-organ in-between the stomach and the small intestine. He had bled from the larger one and it made his blood count really low-->therefore lack of consciousness. SO... they are keeping him tonight, and quite possibly tomorrow night--though by tomorrow he should be transferred to a different area. He is being kept at the ICU tonight. But yeah... I've been at the hospital since 2 pm... I had skipped French class because I've been fighting a cold and was hoping for a ride home with my mom when she got off work. I ended up spending the day trying to find where my dad was in the hospitol.... Oh yeah! Because my dad is brilliant and sent my mom a text saying "I'm at Madigan" and then calls me "Tell your mom I sent her a text, I'm at Madigan." *facepalm* He neglects to mention where he is. And he called me from a phone in his ER room that he could not answer so I couldn't call him back.
*epic sigh* I am so tired.
But yeah... PRAY FOR MY DAD!
So my dad is doing better! He's no longer hooked up and unable to get off the bed-thing. They have moved him into a regular room so he can finish recovering. The chances of him bleeding again are much lower, but they're probably going to keep him for another night. So yah.... that's all I know for now...
Dad's been home since the Thursday before I left for Europe. I got tired of writing stuff and then something new happening. But he's doing fine now, on a specific diet and not allowed to take the back medicine the doctors think was the cause of the ulcers. THANKS FOR ALL THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS! <3
