I'm really sorry I didn't check in with you... I'm having a really difficult time... Daddy's fever keeps going up, and his jaundice is back which means his liver and gallbladder are again not functioning like they should... I am so loathe to leave the hospital, as we've been told its just a matter of days... the remaining lobe of Daddy's right lung is nothing but a mass of infection and none of the antibiotics are working... Daddy is barely responding even after the sedation was lowered... the end is near, and I'm trying to spend all the time with him I can... my sister is here, but she is going home later today, and my daddy's youngest sister is here... I've barely been out of the hospital since Sunday night... so if you don't see me the next couple of days you'll know where I am... they are not restricting access to Daddy anymore which means we can stay with him as long as we want, so at least I can be with him as much as I can...

Oh Sandra, I am so soo soooo sorry to hear this.
It seems like the hospital is making this as easy as possible on you at this time. Please don't forget your oxygen.
We all love you so much- remember that we *are* with you.

hi guys... I spent time with Daddy yesterday... all of his vitals are stable, and they've reduced his pain meds enough during the day that his body had finally filtered out the sedation and he's been awake... he can't talk, and can barely move his mouth, but he seems to see us and hear us... his kidney levels are up again and while not major leaps they are still slowly shutting down... I talked with his surgeon yesterday and Dr. Reda truly hoped the emergency surgery he had done would have gained more improvement, but it didn't... he said the pneumonia is doing to his right lung what he refused to do during Daddy's initial surgery which is take the rest of the right lung... so he's still hanging in, but I'm not sure how much time we have left...

well, I'm not really sure what to write anymore... there's no hope for Daddy... they've done everything they can, the infection's still there, the antibiotics are not working, the chest tubes have stopped draining... today they talked to me about removing the chest tubes because its another source that can cause infection... they've also talked to me about taking steps that will eventually end his life... things like turning off the antibiotics, stopping the tube feeds, etc... they'll make him comfortable, but he's not considered stable enough to go to a long-term facility and he's not going to recover...
so now I have decisions to make, and I'm not sure I can... my head tells me to not let him suffer... my heart just isn't ready to let Daddy go...
