My dad went in the hospital Thursday and is still there. He was on a sixwheeler, passenger side, and they hit a bump that flew him out and landing on his left side, which is his bad side. For those of you who dont know, 6 years ago my dad had to be put in a wheelchair from a kidney transplant, with several other complications; congestive heart failure, ect... Anyway, so things were ok but not great. Well, he was taken to Graham Hospital in Canton, yea not the best, but they lifeflighted him to OSF the same hospital that put him in the condition he is in.
Well, he is having breathing problems, pain in the ribs and left leg. He just had a angiogram that showed 100% blockage and it has been like that for four years, so the blood has adapted and found another way so they didnt have to do an angioplasty.
UPDATE: I found out this lovely morning my dad is in intensice care and had another heart attack. He is ok but there is something else wrong with his heart, some enzyme thing I dont understand.
Well, so things are going horrible and I am going back and forth from WIU to Peoria, trying to get good grades, running my parents house, paying bills, keeping people updated. And I tell ya I have gotten about four hours sleep in the last two days. I am exhausted.
I will keep writing as it is the only thing that I can do to keep friends updated
