On thuesday night i went to the mall with andrew, i was at dairy queen when the cellular rang, it was my daddy and the converstation went like this
"trish, they found a heart for me,meet me at the hospital, ilove you"
and then he hung up lol, I couldnt speak or anything after almost 8 months of waiting they actually found a heart a couldnt bealive it, so i started to ball, andrew knew right away what was going on and he was so happy, he grabbed my hand and ran while i waddled behind him lol. I was so scared there was no happiness for me, my dad was getting his heart completly tooken out of him and putting another one in, pretty scary.
So andrew picked up my sister from her b/f house and litterly sped to the hospital, when we got there the abulance with my dad,brother, and mom wasnt even there yet, im tellin yah, that boy can drive. So we waited and finally they showed up, and then a dozen people rushed into my dads room shaving his chest asking a billion questions it was surrel.
So we thought it'd happen right away, yah no. The doctor doing my dads surgery is the only one allowed to touch the heart, so he had to fly all the way to nfld, take out the heart and fly it back to the hospital here in a span of 5 hours. And i think thats when it hit us, someone has died and now there giving my dad a life, i have no idea how to explain how that feels but its crazy intense feeling.
My mom told andrew to go home, because he worked at 9am, but nope, he stayed, he stayedright untill 8am the next morning actually then went to work. And thats why hes amazing. So we got to the hospital around 8pm, and by 1am we were all exsauhsted..i couldnt sleep so i wondered around the hospital and kept my dad company, he told everyone this was what he was hoping for becase he can be healthy enough for when his grandchild comes, which made me cry.
Finally at 3:50am we hear the helicopter land on the roof, which is carrying the heart, so we knew this is it. The walk down with my dad is something i'll never ever forget i thought this was the last time i could see him, my mom was crying as long with my brither and sister. Then andrew hugged my dad goodbye, and started to cry, and oh me i was hysterical lol.
So my mom took my brother home at 5, and came back at 6, me and andrew and my sister played scrabble and sorry for hours lol im glad they were there they defitnly made the night when your that tired everything is halirous trust me.
I made andrew sleep at 6 to 8, then we got somebreakfast and he left. By 10 am i was nervous 6 hours has passed in sugrey. Then at 11am, the doctor told us the new heart was in and beating fine and i just cried. There was a lot of bleeding so they waited nearly 2 hours to stitch him up.
By 1pm almost 10 hours later sugury was done and the transplant team came out to see us. and oh my were they're tears. The nurse told us before my dad went under he told the team that if this doesnt work and the worst happens that they did an amazing job the last year and he wasextremly greatfull to them, which the nurse said made the team cry because no one has really said that before a surgury. My dads an amazing man,a survior, who has never complianed a day in his life, and wakes up everyday happy to be alive. hes my hero.
Seeing him after was hard, he was very shaky from the medicadion, and had a feeding and oxygen tube in, and was still comostose. Then we saw him afian at 6pm, we was a diffrent man, no feeding tube just a small oxygen one, and when we came in he said hi guys. I just started to cry, the nurse said his recovery was unbleaivable, and he was moved out of the ICU in the first day, my dad is such a fighter.
He will be in the hospital for almost 2 months, and there are complications, hes contracted dibeteies oddly enough, and hes extremly shaky from his medience, but the transplant team has called him a miracle recovery, which is something i expected from dad.
Im so happy right now, my dad has a whole new life thanks to a stranger,and the most amazing doctors ever. It will be a long road but is well worth it.
This fathers day means so much more this weekend, ims till shocked after 7 months of waiting the wait is over, and my dad has a new heart
Also andrew, is amazing and i've realised how much he cares for me and my family, i couldnt ask for anything better
