HES HANGING IN THERE............

Well hes survived the week all of us are here now Rosalie and Elizabeth arrived thursday nite Liane arrived wed nite so were all here and things are really strained.
I had to have my stress test which didnt go well now i have the girls watching me and telling tales to the nurses my blood pressure is now 175 over 115 so they not happy and i have to wait around like im going anywhere lol.

dad is now out of danger for now he needs dialysis and now he has a falling blood count they have told us that if his count goes below 80 he is in danger of a heart attack and he has a non resus order out so we are geting a bit stressed eh

well its 4 weeks down the track every one has gone home so its up to me and Erica and Stephen to look after him its getting a bit much now hes very demanding but hes alive if only just 30% of him
his kidneys are working at 30%
liver at 20 %
lungs at 25%
so hes a bit stuffed.
they have transfered him to star 2 and making him do things which is good as he wants to go home were not happy about that as he cant walk let alone get out of bed and clean him self hes incontentent so its a big problem how do you tell someone who is extremelly independant that it dont look like
hes going home.

Well they have taken him home for a home visit to see how he copes and he didnt as we expected
on Tuesday we had a family group conference which went well the doc told dad that if he went home and he fell then he would break his hip and would prob not survive it so dad has some thinking to do
Well he has decided to go into a home so on thursday we are going looking.
Well he seams a hit with the ladies they swarmed around him like fresh meat lol
he has gone back to hospital with some reading to do but he seems to have made his mind up

well hes made his mind up hes going to Willard home so he moves on Wed and hopefuully the pressure will be off us a little and he can get back to living as god nos he not done to much of that lately hes looking forward to getting back to Lodge so lets hope that goes well
