So last time i wrote my dad had just started dialysis, Monday night. Well he was on that alll day and alll night. It was very temperamental every time he would move or cough it would go off. When it goes off they are scared for blood clots, luckily we didn't have to worry about that.. So from Monday till Friday my dad was asleep cause gave him sedation. They reason why was cause my dad wasn't getting any sleep at all. He was very restless and was in a lot of pain. So that was really hard for all us to see him like that..
They did a liver count on him to see if it had gotten any better. Our liver count is suppose to be at 100, my dad was at 17,000. And by the next day or two it dropped to 6,000. The nurse that we had said in her 27 years of working there she had NEVER seen liver that high or drop that fast.. That was a scary day for us. Just not knowing if my dad was going to be alive cause we had no clue if the liver was cut..
When my dad went to the hospital they put fluid into him to keep him stable. 28 litters!!! My dad is VERY tiny, he is tall and skinny. So with this 28 litter my dad weighed about 300 + pounds. He was so swollen. With the Dialysis they were trying to take out as many litters as they could. Or as many as my dad would let out. The last time they told us he still had about 7 litters in him. His poor kidneys still aren't working right. He has to be on Dialysis every other day for 3 hours. Its wears him out.. We are now talking about Kidney transplants. So us kids are going to see if we are a match and get everything ready just in case..
Saturday was one of the most amazing days of our life. My dad woke up! He sat up on his own AND he got the breathing tub out! It was one good thing after an other. I had never been so happy in my life. Just to hear him cough was the best sound in the world. As weird as that sounds it was the best thing. I was finally able to hear that beautiful voice of his. I was able to see his eyes and hear him say i love you!! It was just amazing! He truly is my hero, my everything and MY DADDY. I'm so lucky yo still have him here with us.. Just a week ago we were planning a funeral. He had 10% chance that he would live through this. and guess what he WAS that 10% that lived through this! He is the strongest man in this whole world. He is the greatest dad! Im so lucky, so lucky!
They have now moved my dad to the 2 floor. the IMCU. He is still as strong as he ever was. But they are still worried about his hands and legs. We will know more about that TODAY. They are thinking he will lose a hand and maybe more. only time will tell. But regardless he will keep fighting and he will do amazing! I cant say it enough but my dad is my HERO
