Well this is bad but good I guess.....
My dad is Not going to be weened off the respirator this weekend after all. He is using 30-40% of his lungs, the rest is under water...literally. We talked to the pulmanologist today and found out the Sunday he almost drowned in his secretions in his lungs. He could not expel them. So they are keeping him on it until Monday where they can suction more out and maybe he can breath better on his own.
The bad news is that if he takes another cigarette and this happens again he wont make it, the doctor said that it will be very unlikely that he would make it out of the hospital alive. Now to convince him his life is worth more to us alive than dead......
we are working and visiting him all week with the new boards and the BLT's that we have ,I just hope we can finish everything....
what a week... can it be over and daddy home yet?
