Just hanging On
Hi everyone
Thanks to those of you who commented on my last post and for your best wishes and thoughts etc. My dad is still just about hanging on but hes now on a ventilator ( which basically is breathing for him ) and the kidney machine again ( which he was on and off of last time ) along with numerous drugs to fight the sceptisemia, blood pressure , MRSA, pneumonia and the DVT. At the moment its the DVT thats causing the most concern as parts of it keep breaking off and at least twice they have gotten into his lung which almost resulted in us losing him but each time they have managed to keep him here and stablise him. He needs a scan to determine if the DVT has moved but is too unwell to be moved even for that to be done. Hes sedated all the time now, hasnt spoken since Wednesday night. I ant to be there but its just impossible to sit there all the time. Its exhausting and the weather here isnt helping at all ( being very hot ). My mum has now gotten a room at the hospital which is understandable at the moment. To be absolutly honest I don't think he can take much more nr get any worse at all, we can only hope that somehow he can find the strength to fight the multiple things he has wrong now.
I will update you all again soon and once again apologise for not being on much nor reading / commenting on your LJ's. I know a few people have removed me from their friends lists and that has made me very sad but in the end its their choice and I cant do anything about that. So until next time, nite just for now
