My grandfather had colan cancer surgery on March 10th. He seemed to be doing well afterwards. Lowered his pain meds was starting to want to eat etc. One Dr. even told him he'd be going home. In the end, he's still there. He's been transfered to CICU and is now intabated, on a vent. there are tubes draining infection from his stomach & he now has pneumonia. Sometime in the next 24 - 48 hours his blood should be thick enough to go in and manually drain the infection. I have been trying to find hope with each telephone call and each time we hear new developments. tonight I'm having a hard time. It just doesn't make me feel any better to hear that the Dr's are saying that "it's in God's hands"
I'm worried about my Mom.
I'm worried about my Grandmother (whose own mother took her own life after her father died of cancer)I think she'd do the same.
All prayers and good thoughts are appriciated.
I talked to him the night before his surgery. I haven't been able to talk to him at all about his cancer. I didn't know what to say. Can you believe that, me. I just told him I loved him and be strong and I'd see him in april.
I don't want him to die. not yet.
