Surgery 2

Yup we are getting ready for surgery number 2. Tomorrow he will be going through surgery to close up his right arm and to lose the tips on his fingers on his left hand. But hey tips of fingers are better then his whole hand. He will still be able to work with that. Again I'm really scared for him to go under, but i know that this one wont take as long. Then after this we will have two weeks for him to heal up and an other 2 weeks or so for rehab and then he will be good to go home!!! Its getting closer.

You all know my dad liver count was clear up to 17,000 at one point. Normally they need to be at 100. Well they did an other count and guess what they are at 130. YAHOO. Amazing right.
Then (this will be T.M.I so sorry ahead of time) Monday my dad farted! Yup I'm excited about him farting. Guess what that's means Kidneys are working. Or starting to work! Then he had a BM which he hadn't had for a week, And then last night my dad told my mom that he needed to pee! Yup you guess right again he PEED!! 2oz. and right before my mom left he peed again. An other 2oz. The little and odd things we get excited for. But hey those farts are huge leaps for us! We like those. The kidney doctor will be coming to in soon to see where his kidney stand now. We are hoping for good news and hopefully he wont have to be on dialysis much longer!

Yesterday was a really good day for my dad. We were able to go for a walk. The nurses got him up into a chair and said we could go for a walk! My dad was so excited to see more then the four walls in his room. He hadn't seen the outside for over two week. He was dieing to see them! I was pretty excited as well. It was a amazing time for my dad and I. It was just the two of us hanging out and having this time to see the great world! He really missed it! Yesterday was a pretty wonderful day. He was doing therapy on his arms and legs to start moving them more and he did that just great! He also had a singer come in and sing a song. You could really tell it lifted him up! Yes yesterday was amazing!

So now we just wait to see how tomorrow goes. I know it will go great. After everything my dad had been through, tomorrow is nothing.!


It will hurt
It will take time
It will require dedication
It will require willpower
You will need to make decision,
 it requires sacrifice
you will need to push your body to its max.
There will be hard time, But i promise you
when you reach it, it will be worth it!

Chelby, I just tear up when I read all of your posts about your Dad and the support you guys are giving him. It's so unfortunate that it turned this way, but it's amazing that he is alive and still fighting for his happiness. Love you guys very much and I'll be praying for surgery #2! Xoxoxo!
