Hello everyone,
I got a call this morning from my mother in law telling me my father in law is back in the hospital because he had another heart attack. The thing that I don't get is that he has a pacemaker in and it never kicked in. They are running all kinds of test on him now and so far they found out he was without oxygen to his brain for about a minute and a half so now they are testing to see if any brain damage has occurred he also only has 10% of his heart left (well he did until this happen) they are going to be looking to see how much more damage was done. They also noted that the pacemaker was set to 161 and he dropped to 140 but it never kicked in. You see back in 2003 he was diagnosed with cancer and they removed his stomach, he had strokes, and heart attacks, causing him to lose all of his heart but the 10%, now this is happening all over again. My husband is not taking this news very well as none of us would if it were our parents. They told my father in law that he would be too weak to have any more surgeries but the only thing that would help him now is to have a heart transplant so its a lose lose situation. My father in law is talking about checking himself out the hospital now because there is no need for him to be in there as he puts it. I feel useless in this kind of situation I don't know what to do or say to any of them.
I am going to talk a little bit about my class this week as well.....I am excited about this week in my writing class because it is time for peer review. We just turned in our drafts last week and now we need to submit them to our discussion so the class can also give us tips on making it a better paper. I know I can use as much help as possible on my paper lol.
Well until next time,take care...

Hi Gevanine, I am so sorry to hear about your father-in-law. I know that this is a rough time for you guys and I pray that all goes well. If you have read you know that my mother has been has permanent brain damage and spent a total of one year in the hospital not knowing if she would make it or not. So I know what you're going thru. All I can say is that God is there when you need him and he will definitely see you thru this journey. I wish you guys the best.
ReplyDeleteAlso I was a little afraid of the peer review but so far I've only had one person to read my paper and also I got my grades back and it was pretty good, so I feel a little bit better. Just have to go and make some minor correction and then I will be on my way.Good luck to you and if there's a time you want to talk, I am here .
