heh.. Actually, I've thought about calling you or em a couple times when I got really scared. Well, its his chrons. Around january we found out he had been sick for like a month because of a blockage a the opening of his kidneys, so they put a stent in. But like four weeks later he had emergency surgery because he had chrons related internal abcesses which were drained and then the incision was left open with a tube in it to drain. But like two days later waste started coming out. Turns out the loop of small intestine that has been a problem for like ten years has a hole in it. But since he's already missing several feet of small intestine the doctors won't cut out the hole. 8 weeks later he was still draining, swollen and running a fever, but the doctors wouldn't re-admit him. He went through emergency, where they gave him morphine. Turns out he's developed an allergy to it over the years. His heart rate dropped to like 30, and he turned the color of death according to ruth. They kept him for two days but then let him go with some ( ... )

"Yay Oakwood" that's for sure. When I had my surgery a couple of months back The doctor wanted to perform it there and I refused to even step foot in that building and made him do it elsewhere. That's unfortunate to hear about that but from what it sounds like it could have been much worse especially with a heart rate dropping to 30. I remember poking around online and seeing your sisters myspace and someone had commented on there "I hope your dad gets better." I had been meaning to ask you but I havn't seen you online in a long long time ( ... )
