Update
So last Thursday dad went in for this second surgery for his left hand and to close up his right. It was such great news to know dad right arm was getting closed up. But on his left hand they told us that it would only be tips of his fingers but once they went in to surgery they would know more if he would lose more then tips. He went to surgery about 10 it was easy knowing he has coming out with more gone from him. But we knew that is was for the better and after this things would be looking up. About two hours later we got a call saying it was all over and the doctor would be out shortly to tell us how it all went. The right arm was able to close up really went but the left hand was a little harder. His thumb the only took off just vert little. It looks like they didn't take anything off. His pointer finger they took down to his first knuckle,his middle finger was completely taken off, his ringer finger was taken off down to his second knuckle, and his pinky was taken off to his finger nail. So all in all it was that bad I mean it was more then we thought but he will still have movement and be able to dress himself and do more on his own.
Over the weekend the doctor wanted to see how well his kidneys would do on there own. Cause all week he was peeing quit a bit. They had high hope that they were doing better. It was only two days he wouldn't be on dialysis btu those two days totally changed everything. We took a big step back and my dad once again wasn't doing to good. His kidneys weren't flushing out the bad fluid, so the fluid were getting into his lungs again and making it hard to breath. It was like we were back into the ccu and things weren't going to get better. They put him on dialysis right away to try to get all the fluids out. It kinda worked. But every since my dad hasn't been the same. He is very confused on something's. There's times when he will be clear as a bell to not understanding things. He's very very tired. But his body , mind and spirit have been through hell. I know with time he will get better but until then we are just taken it day by day. My dad is a very strong man and there will be bad days but there will also be great days, it's just very hard to see him like this and it's sad to know he doesn't know what's going on. He just knows he was sick. Each day that passes he gets stronger as well as us as a family. I just can't wait Till the day he gets to come home and is able to walk and do everything like he used to.
Your amazing daddy!!!!!! I love you
