Morning Report

Seems dad did not have a good night. They did remove the NG Tube, however he is a nothing my mouth order. He seems to be really out of it, although i suspect that is the meds. today is going to be a long rough one i am afraid. PT is going to come in and get him up and try to get him to walk a little, so not sure how that is going to go.

Update

Doctor come in and said he was doing ok, they removed the dessing and the cut spot does not look so bad. He did say that we had to get him up and walking a little.

Bad Son?

I have to wonder if i have been such a bad son to my parents that now God is punishing me by making my father sick like this. I can see no other reason why God would put my father thru this. All my life I have only known him to be a good man. Has always been willing to help people when needed, and has always been there for me. I look at my life and look back at so much that I have put him thru with the choices in life I have made and the life that I am living now. But I ask why would this happen to him and not me? Is it so I will hurt more, seeing my once strong father needing help to get up, to sip water, to even needing help to go to the bath room? I sit here looking at him, cut open, tubes in his nose and needles in his arms and ask , “Dear Lord, Why him, why this man, Why not me?”. I now I have not been the best Son there is. I pray that I will be forgiven and that my father will get better.

Just got a NG Tube

They just had to give him an NG Tube to clear his stomach, seems his bowls are not waking up yet and it was making him sick.

rough night but doing ok

Dad had a rough night last night. Knee started hurting and he got the hickups, so not sure what is going on. We are hoping the doctor can do something when he comes in.

Resting

After a rocky start this morning and the set back with the not so good news, we were able to get him to sit up this afternoon for a few hours. When I left he was resting and seemed to be ok. I hope tomorrow will be a little better, we are going to try and get him to eat a little something.

well a set back

Doctor just come in and told us that the mass was not in the scans in July and did not show up on the CT Scan in September, So it looks like a fast growing tumor. So we have to wait till Monday for the path results and the oncologest will be coming Monday to speak with us. Please keep us in your thoughts.

Making Progress

They have taken the cath out, so we seem to be making progress.
