Please pray for my dad. He had prostrate surgery yesterday and they've kept him at the hospital longer because he became very disoriented. They thot it was due to low sodium and he was getting somewhat better today, then tonight took a turn for the worse. He doesn't know where he is or what year it is, he's trying to get out of bed to go to bed!
Last I heard my mom was waiting for the dr. to check on things and talk to her. She and my husband don't want me going in. I was in to visit earlier for just an hour, but since I'm on IV's and the hospital is such a germy place, they are limiting my going there. I'm feeling very frustrated about that. We moved here to be nearby for times like this and everyone is tip-toeing around my health now, but I want to be there.
It's very hard to see him like this. Just this Sunday he was here for dinner and a few hours when dropping off their dog...he was just as sharp as ever. (He is 72yrs)
Anyway, thanks for your prayers for my parents.

I'll be praying for your Dad. I agree with your Mom and hubby that you shouldn't go there, but I can imagine how hard it is for you.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason when a blog is private, it won't load onto Google reader, so I have to remember on my own to check in, and my brain is not reliable!
Hang in girl.. you definitely SHOULD NOT go to that hospital, as hard as that is. Your dad wants you around long-term and so does your mom. Visiting the hospital is a short-term thing. Hopefully he will go home in the next day or 2. With any luck, it's just a residual of the sedation, pain meds and anesthesia and as they clear out of his system, he will become lucid again rapidly. Dealing with MS I know how easy it is to feel isolated when going through a rough patch - don't get down, don't let the devil work that nerve!! you are loved and prayed for. Praying for both your dad and your mom as well!
ReplyDeleteI pray the doctors and nurses have all the knowledge and wisdom they need to care for your father. I pray for peace and comfort beyond understanding for you and your mom.
