MAN WHAT A WEEK!

Well this week has proven to be a tough week. As some of you know (I am sorry if you are hearing this for the first time.) my dad went into the hospital on Monday morning. Ya it kind of shocked us all. He has been sick for the last two weeks, with what we thought was Salmanila Posioning. (which we know NOW is not the case) On Monday he started to loose alot of blood, so much so that we when the Paramedics came to get him he was not able to get down the stairs, they got a chair that had a track on it and wheeled him down to the waiting ambulance. When they got to the ER they gave him (2) blood trasfusions right away, he had DANGEROUSLY LOW blood pressure as you can imagine. During that whole day (MONDAY) they worked on getting him stabilized in the ICU. The hospital gave him a total of (6) blood transfusions during the course of the day. (He was down to only 2 pints of blood when they got him to the hospital) By the end of Monday things started to look better, we still did not know where the source of the bleeding was coming from. They kept him in the ICU over night to monitor the situation. At 4:00am on Tuesday, the hospital called my mom to tell her that my dad had lost ALL!! of the blood that they given him during the course of that day, so they restablized the situation and then did some tests on him to see if they could find out the source of the bleeding. After two scopes they realized that they were not going to be able to tell anything from it. So Tuesday after noon they transfered him to a diffrent hospital. We waited for Several hours, before they were able to preform the next test..... A Radio Active liquid..... They IV dripped this into his system and then took him for a scan. (The test was suppose to last for a total of 2 hours, which of course it did not, it turned into almost 4 1/2 hours. )The fluid was suppose the go right to the source of the bleeding, and they were suppose to be able to fix it yesterday......but as we all know things dont usually happen the way we think they are going to. SO today.... Wednesday they are going to do another scope to see if they can see anything.. He is still in critical condtion in the ICU... We dont know anything YET.. IT is all very frustrating, mostly because we do not know what to expect, what the procedures are, and what will happen..
So this is just a quick update on what is happening in our life right now. We are doing ok. We are all hangin in there and just "HANGIN OUT" at the hospital all the time. SO I will keep you all updated as much as possible.
