Dad

  I dont even know where to begin, I really should start coming here more often. Not this past Saturday but the one before, mom,Kris and I went to a baby shower, my cousin is expecting his first.  It was a nice visit, I got to show Brooke off to family who hadnt seen her…

From this... To this....The kids have really grown up!!!We got gutters put on the house this week and our satellite had to be moved, now it goes in and out.......so I probably wont get to DVR the Today show tomorrow......which really sucks.  They are coming out to fix the dish on Saturday......

Mom had her weekly visit with dads doctor yesterday.  She had requested a copy of all the meds he is currently on so that she could send that in with the disability paperwork.  We all thought he was on maybe 4 or 5 drugs.  Pain meds, blood thinner, anxiety meds, nope, hes on 3 page...

Well, dad finally got moved to rehab today.  YAY!  Plus he did really well on his swallow test, so he is able to drink and eat a LITTLE bit.  He chokes if he has too much. I brought him a can of tea, it wasnt the kind he had wanted but it was all I…

So the swelling on the brain has reduced some, but not all.  We are still waiting for him to wake up.  The doctors want him to and every morning they request that the sedation meds be turned off.  But, when they are turned off dad freaks out.  He starts to get aggravated which...

Thats what I saw yesterday.  Mom called around noonish to tell me they were trying to unsedate dad.  I didnt hesitate to pack up and leave work even though I was in the middle of my lunch.  I left a note for my boss turned in my time sheet and flew out the door.They had…

Dad seems to be going uphill now instead of just downhill.Ofcourse we have a few setbacks, they still are keeping him mostly sedated, hes not opening his eyes and that damn temperature keeps popping up.But, he looks good, he's responding more to us and we are all getting a little excited.I didnt ...

I dont even know where to start.  A simple case of assumed indigestion lead to a heart attack, which lead to a simple stint procedure......which then lead to a triple bypass.....which lead us to here.They determined that his coratid artery on the left side was at least 90% blocked so it need...
