Again

So i am by far the worst blogger ever. I really do try and keep it updated as much as i can, i mean every day i think about what im going to say in my blogs, but i just never get around to them. Ive been busy these last few weeks. We have been trying to learn everything i need to know before my dad gets home. I had to learn wound care cause my dad still has an open wound on his belly, i had to learn how to give him shots, learn how to work his legs and arms out. I mean the list just goes on and on. Ive been getting to the hospital about 9 and not getting home till about 9. So its a full day and by the time i get home all i want to do is sleep. So im sorry i havent been able to keep you updated as much as i would hope i could. Now with my dad home i can do it more..

Okay so lets go back a week ago. It was a Wednesday and we went up to the burn unit to get a check up on his belly. My dad was fine all day long till after 4:00. At that time he just felt like he was filled with gas. Well he was but he was still filled with poop. It got so bad that once again they had to put the NG tube back down. Here we go again. They started him on Iv's and started giving him a LOT more medication to make him poop. He was on 4 different types to make him go. So he was going all day and all night long. I felt so bad for him. Finally after 3 days they were able to take the tube out, but he was still on the medication to make him go poop. But that was better then having to keep the tube down him and possible an other surgery . Its been almost two weeks and my dad has been so much better. Now that he is on this medicationto make him go poop, you can tell a differences in him. But after a hand full of days with him pooping 24/7, my dad was getting really tired of it and wanted to see if there was anything they could do about it. Well they did a few test and told us that finally everything was back to normal! FINALLY. It felt so good to hear that his belly and everything was noraml and going good.. We are just hoping that nothing like this will happen again! My dad has been though so much, that we dont want anything to go wrong again. We are so ready for him to be home again! We just cant wait. :)
