Prayers and Thoughts

[Dream]

I could really use some prayers sent up north here. 911 has been call 3 times to my parents' house this month, twice for my mom, and last for my dad who is in ICU. I need all the strength I can muster up right now and any little bit of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dream

Thank you all for the prayers. After two weeks, including two trips into ICU and using the shock paddles, I was able to bring Dad home from the hospital today. Thus far, his heart rate has stabilized, but it is something he has to live with the rest of his life. Hopefully, the new list of meds will help keep it under control.

Thank you again,
Dream

As everyone knows, my parents mean the world to me. So you can guess that when I was finally able to get in to check my email this morning, I learned that my dad was admitted to the hospital 2 days ago.

March 20th he was hit with an infection and it was apparently resistant to Cipro. When he got the correct antibiotic it had really flared up. Went to Urgent Care where he picked up a virus with a cough that apparently lasts two weeks. In the mean time, we did not know that antibiotics have an adverse effect on Warfarin. He maintains a level of 2. When he got to hospital it was 13. So at this point, he's been sick for almost three weeks, his stomach is now in terrible shape. He started throwing up Tuesday evening around 7pm and by 2am we headed to the hospital.

They gave him several shots of Vitamin K to help with his stomach pain and so far as my mom knows, it has no adverse effect with his Warfarin. To say I am unhappy is a complete understatement, the fact the damn doctor didn't check to see if there was an interaction between the antibiotic that he prescribed to my dad to his Warfarin, is beyond lazy. I swear nowadays the medical community skims over medications being taken too often, as I have had that happen to me several times last year and it's not a fun thing to go through, especially when one of the medications they gave me nearly killed me.

Even though he is home now and my mom says he's doing well, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, as I really do not know what I would do without him in my life at this present time. He turned 81 last October, so I don't have many years left with him.

He is in my prayers. Vitamin K is used to counteract Wayfarin. it helps to thicken the blood and lower that number from 13 back towards the 2 he should be maintaining at.

Thank you, woobie!! <3 <3 Ahhh, was trying to locate what it did and couldn't find anything. I will pass that on to my mom, that is when I am able to get a hold of her, for some reason she has the phone turned off and my sister isn't answering my calls nor any of my texts to her for information. -grumbles-

Prayers please to the victims of the Boston Marathon explosions, those physically hurt and those also in the extreme pain of not knowing if their loved one is okay.

Update on Dad.

Last night, was yet another call for the ambulance and dad was taken to hospital. (between the two of them, that was the 8th call since Feb 1). The ER doctor did find something none of the others had. According to what mom told me, the doctor found nodules on his lungs which means cancer somewhere in his body. They asked dad if he wanted them to do tests to further investigate it, and dad said no. This has been really tough on me today, trying to digest this, understand this and come to terms with it. I know its dad's choice, but at least, if they find out what type it is, maybe there is something that can be done to at least make him more comfortable in his remaining days, as well, for "family history of" that we are always asked when we go to the doctor.

Dad has lived a long and good life. He was 85 last October. He only retired 15 years ago. They have been married 58 year last December and have my brother and I and our spouses and my two kids. Dad has out lived both of his parents and one of his brothers, being the 2nd oldest of 6 kids.

I know all I can do is continue to love and support him and mom, as I always have done and always will do, as well as pray that God lays his hand upon Dad so that he can live his final days without suffering. I'm trying to stay strong, but I'm learning its not as easy as people think. Please pray for my Dad.

From my mouth to God's ears .. Dream.. from my mouth to God's ears..


and this may sound callous, but it isn't meant to be..if this is his choice, make sure he has everything in place to take care of your Mom when he is gone. .. ie .. a will, power of attorney, all the titles to things, deeds to property, etc set up for her.. even final details for himself if he wants something specific. I say this because I am sure that if they have been married that long there is immense love between them and he probably is like Scott's dad was (he always handled all that sort of thing and Scott's mom didn't have a clue how to even file income tax when he died) and has taken care of her their whole life. Even I found out with this latest scare with Scott how screwed I was without paperwork, if he had died. It is sad but true that lawyers after money don't care about the love...

my prayers are with your family...love woobie
