I couldn't stay totally away like the doctors said. Tried but couldn't. I went this morning to see dad. I stayed just long enough to tell him I loved him and a few other things I thought he needed to hear. Then I left. Wasn't even in there 10 minutes.
Before leaving I talked to the nurse. And I have talked to her twice by phone since then.
Dad's blood pressure is still a little low but they are no longer giving him medicine for it. He still has a fever but it has dropped to 99.1. As far as the breathing machine.......the nurse said they switched it from bi-level to pressure control. I asked what that meant and she said she really couldn't explain it but it was a GOOD thing.
I felt better having seen dad today. The fact that he is no longer on blood pressure medicine, his temperature is down, and the breathing machine is on pressure control gives me hope. Yesterday I really didn't have any. Today I feel lots better about things.
I know, I know, I have to be prepared for the worse that could happen......but right now I choose to look at the glass as half full. I choose to believe he will wake up and be able to come home one day.
Keep the prayers going up for dad and me.
Kathy
