UPDATE ON MY DAD~

[megpieelo77]

OK I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER TO BLOG THAN TO GET TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN SO SO SO GREAT TO ME IN THE PAST WEEK.  SO HERE GOES.

GONNA BACK UP FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW BUT MY DAD GOT SICK ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHILE WORKING ON THE DELTA QUEEN.  THEY PULLED IN PORT IN PADUCAH KY AND TOOK HIM TO A HOSPITAL THERE.   HE WASN'T ABLE TO PEE AND IT WAS EFFECTING HIS PROSTATE WHICH ENDED UP BACKING UP ALSO AND THE INFECTION WENT INTO HIS BLOOD STREAM.   WELL FRIDAY HE WAS HAVING A SURGERY TO SCRAPE HIS PROSTATE.  WELL I GUESS IT DIDN'T GO AS WELL AS THEY HOPED.  THEY SAID IT WAS ALOT WORSE THAN THEY HAD THOUGHT.  AND THEY SAID HE KEPT BLEEDING ALOT DURING SURGERY WHICH MADE SURGERY LAST ALOT LONGER.   BUT I FEEL GOD HAD SENT HIS ANGELS TO BE W/ MY DAD BECAUSE THE DR'S SAID HE SHOULD HAVE DIED.    NOW I GOT A CALL ON FRIDAY SAYING HE WAS IN ICU IN SERIOUS CONDITION ON A VENT, UNRESPONSIVE, AND NOT DOING WELL.  BECAUSE OF HIPPA THERE ISN'T ALOT THEY COULD TELL ME BUT THEY DID SAY I SHOULD GET THERE IF I COULD.   WELL IT IS A 10 1/2 HR DRIVE AND THE CHEAPEST FLIGHT I COULD FIND WAS $600.  SO NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE.  SO I JUST PRAYED AND LEANED ON MY FAITH, FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS.  THEN I GOT A CALL SAT EVENING SAYING HE HAD WOKE UP AND WAS BREATHING ON HIS OWN.  OH WHAT A RELIEF. 

YESTERDAY I DECEIDED SINCE HE WAS DOING BETTER TO DO BACK TO WORK SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS.  WHILE I WAS THERE MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THE DRS WERE SAYING HE WAS A MIRACLE.  THEY SAID HE SHOULD NOT BE HERE RIGHT NOW.   NOW IF THAT ISN'T THE WORK OF GOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.    LATER ON  I WAS SITTING AT DINNER AND I GOT A CALL FROM MY DAD.  I BROKE DOWN AND STARTED CRYING.  IT WAS SO AWESOME TO HEAR HIS VOICE.  I JUST PRAISE GOD FOR THIS. 

NOW THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW ME REAL WELL DON'T KNOW I WASN'T RAISE BY MY PARENTS.  I WAS RAISED BY THE GREATEST GRAND PARENTS IN THE WORLD.  BUT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY RELATIONSHIP W/ MY DAD FOR A FEW YEARS.  I COULDN'T IMAGINE NOT HAVING HIM HERE.  I AM SO SO SO THANKFUL TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND FOR THOSE WHO OFFERED TO PACK UP AND GO ON A ROAD TRIP~YOU TOUCHED MY HEART W/ YOUR KINDNESS AND I AM SO SO SO THANKFUL FOR YOU IN MY LIFE~
