Dad is still in the hospital

We all thought that Dad was going to get out of the hospital last Saturday. He was doing a lot better and then started to throw up again(sorry if too graphic). The Dr's have done several x-rays on his stomache and think that there is a blockage in his small intestines. We will know more tomorrow after the CT scan. Surgery looks like a definate possiabilty at this point. It appears that all of the kidney trouble is due to this blockage.

Dad looks like all skin and bones he has lost so much weight. The whole family is worried sick about him. If it is not too much to ask can everyone please continue to pray for Dad?

Prayers continuing from here! Hope all is well.

I was wondering the same thing, how is he?

Dad is not doing as well as we all had hoped. All of his Doctors are working on getting him out of the hospital as soon as possiable.

Dad was weighed this past Saturday he is down to 128.8 lbs. My Dad was not fat buy no means but was a good solid 200lbs. Since he can't keep anything on his stomache because of the blockage in his small intestines the Dr.'s have put a tube into his stomache to pump out all of the nasty stuff that is making him sick. I am sorry if this is too graphic for anyone.

All of his problems are due to scar tissue from his Aorta bypass surgery that was done in 1988. It seems that the scar tissue has attached to his kidneys and his small intestines and causeing the blockages. Right now Dad is too weak to undergo the surgey to correct it. As of today we still don't know when the dr.'s will do the surgery.

Today will be the start of the 4th week in the hospital. He has been moved once again to the IMCU unit on the 2nd floor of the hospital to try and get his blood pressure under control. Hopefully soon we will be able to take Dad home. So please any and all prayers are welcome for my Dad to get better Thanks everyone.

We'll keep praying !
