December 2

I hate that I have to write this but this is something that I need to keep with me at all time. It know it might not make since so I'm sorry before I even start. I'm going to tell the most important details but skim throught it.

 December 2 2011 My dad was sick with the cold for about three days. Didnt think anything of it till he came and told us that he needed to get to the er. He was having a hard time breathing. We got there checked him in and waited to be called back. He wasnt the same at all. He couldn't walk or really talk to us. Got back to the room. Took his vitals and got him hooked up on some medication. The took somet test and told us that he had pneumonia. Strep pneumonia and that we needed to get him to the u of u as soon as we could. That night the weather was really bad. It was snowing and the wind was pretty crazy so we couldn't get life fight to get here and be safe. So we had to wait for an hour and a half for the a team to get here. The doctor told us that he has fluids in his lung and he needed help fast. It took us about and hour and fifteen minutes to get to the U. The weather was bad. They said that it life fight was able to get there that soon, my dad wouldn't of made it. Cause when we were waiting for them to get here they had him on a breathing tub and some medication to help his blood pressure. If the fight came soon they wouldn't of had any of that's for my dad and we would of lost him on the way over there. Thanks god someone was watching over him. We got to the U about 1 in the morning. My brother was driving down from Idaho to get here and we all got there went up to the forth floor, and waited and waited finally we went to see my dad. I was scared, terrified, didn't know what else was going on. I hadn't seen my dad for a good two hours and had never seen him with anything hooked on him. Finally we went back. They told us he was sick REALLY sick and he needed this help more then anything. His white blood cells were so low. The we're a 3.3 and normally they are a 10-12. The white blood cells are there to fight off anything bad in your body. So that means he didn't have really any fighting for him. That's why when he got sick he got really sick. They had to put tub in his neck to get medication in him and the breathing tub to help him breath better. His heart rate was clear up to 145 and his blood pressure was 70/48. Really low. The told us it will be a very long and pain full road but we will get thought this. So we won't and saw him gave him our loves and headed to the waiting room so the could work their spical touch. That night they wanted to move him to his side to prevent bed sores. Made things a lot worst. They almost lost him that night they said it was a touch and bo all night. There was fluid that was in his lungs moved everywhere else in his body. Making things worst and with more problems to come. They got to his kindeny and his heart and also his liver. Kidneys are shutting down and heart is beating way to fast. I couldn't believe how much medication he was on. How much his body was taken. I just didn't think something like this could happen to my daddy. Why my daddy.


December 3, 2011 Saturday my sister came from California she was really having a hard time with dad. The doctor wanted to talk to us about dad and his sickness. They told us that if we have someone to come and do a blessing and to get all the support here as we could. Things were going bad. Real bad. Keith bird came to do a wonderful blessing for my dad. But right when we got to the room the doctor were waiting for us. Told my mom to sit down cause they had bad news. They said my dad was so sick that he can only take so much more before he won't take anything. They said he was sick and the were scared for him. They also told us that he had a 10% chance to live. We all dropped to our knee and just cried. I knew my dad would pull through this. I just knew it. They asked as the hardest question of them all. They asked when he flat lines do you want us to do chest compression? Those word will always be stuck in my head. Hardest thing we ever had to make but we know our dad and what he would want. Later that day all our family came all dad side all my mom side and as soon as they were all here something sparked for my dad. He fought and fought. He fought so hard that things where looking better. Blood pressure was going up heart was going down after they did a shock to his heart. They had to do it twice cause how high his heart was breaking. They thought it would bring the best down. But after all this mymdad knew he had something and everything to live for!!! We had so many ups and so many downs that day. But we had everyone with us and we knew everything would be okay. We love him more then anything.


December 4, 2011 My dad had a great night! He had a fever of 103.8 but he broke that. His heart rate went down from 159 to 113 his blood pressure went up from 70/48 to 85/55. Things were looking up. We couldn't give up. He was our everything. All day long his heart wouldn't bound all around. From 113 to 126 to 166 to 179 and the back down to 120. It was all over the place. That's when they said they needed to give my a second shock to his heart. That didn't help much. So he was just bouncing everywhere. The doctors wanted to talk to us again. We were scared. They told us that his kindeny were pretty much gone and that there was no blood flow to his hands or feet. They were so purple that when he gets better he might lose them all. All four of them. His legs up to his knee cause they were moving up there. After they told us that. They told us the worst news of them all. His liver was BAD! The worst they have seen in a while. He said worst thing that could happened is the liver is linking and would go to his Brian. Swell the Brian and we would lose him. But they can't find out if the liver is linking cause my dad couldn't do a ct scan cause how bad my dad was. So it was pretty much a waiting game. A long and painful waiting game. Time stood still. Tngs where looking up. But it's like one step forward and three back. It was tough to see him struggle. Later that night they told us things were getting better. His oxygen was down from 100 to 80. So he was breathing more on his own. His blood pressure was going up and heart rate was still bouncing. It had been all day the my dad didn't open his eyes or move around at all. That just broke my heart. His hands were cold and swollen. Just not my dad. They were able to take him off of some blood pressure medication. He was at four and went down to only 1 and a half. He moved his leg a little and moved his head a little for my mom. Made a Us believe he was fighting and not going to give up. He is my world and so much more. I can't see him go throught this. I wish I would take his pain away. So we told him goodnight and went to bed. Or tired to sleep.


December 5,2011 He had a GREAT night again. His heart rate went all the way down to 90's and his blood pressure medication was all fine and he was doing okay without it. His hands where coming back with color and some with his legs. My sister and I wet in to see him and he opened his eyes for us. Just looked at us. Best things in the world to see those beautiful blue eyes. When we were leaving we said daddy we are going to leave for a few minutes. And he moved his head to say no!! And when we asked do want us to stay he said yes!!!! You don't know how much the made us believe. So where we are right now is they are very scared for his kindeny. They haven't been working for three days now and he hasn't peed at all. So they are going to get a something to help start the kindeny. They will work for the kindeny till his are better. We are now waiting to talk to the doctor. So lets hope for GREAT news again! We have been throught so many heart ach we cay do much more.

So please keep praying tell the day my daddy walks out of this hospital! Keep giving him your strength. Keep us in your thoughts tonight and every night. We need it. Thank you all for everything you do. We love you all with everything we have!!! My dad will be okay and will fight this and will be home soon!!!!!!!!! I love you to the moon and back daddy!!!!
 Always your little girl!!
