Bro in law called around lunch time. Dad is out of ICU and back in a normal room. The CT scan showed that there was no infection, as they first feared, but there is some internal bleeding at the surgery site. This is being blamed on the fact that dad is on blood thinners for his heart. In fact, there was some bleeding during the surgery as well, so this isn't totally unexpected. In total, over the last couple of days, dad has been given 4 units of blood. They have taken him off the blood thinners for now, and things are looking much much better. In fact, things are looking so much better, they don't think he'll need surgery to mend the bleeding, and are going to treat it medically. If all goes according to plan, dad will be home in a couple of days.

So.. while not GREAT news, this is the best news we could hope for under the circumstances. Thanks everyone for your prayers, and thanks flame for letting me vent on you last night. *grin*

My Dearest family...

Im normally not the one to ask for this kind of thing but I need to ask for your prayers...

Ive just found out that My mother in law has cancer... she had a suspicious lump removed from behind her ear last week and a bi-opsy done on a lump on her head... its cancer...

the bad news is thats its lynphoma... and a very rare form at that... the good news is that its non-agressive and they dont think it will spread much if any...

they are going to start radiation asap and then do chemo after that...

please pray for the family they are not taking it well... my BF is growing more and more depressed... his father is acting even more strange and his outbursts are becomming even more angry and volitile.... his step dad (moms bf) is working him self into a frensy trying to take care of her even though at this point she is still more than capeable, hes not even letting his own health problems stop all of this... working into the night so that she will not have to lift a finger...

Please pray that Mom will get through this.... of that I have no worries.... I worry about the men in her life...
And Please pray that the guys make it through this.

thank you all

I would ask for thoughts and prayers for my friend Rita and her family... for those of you that attend the gatherings, she is the cook at the little cafe'... the one that makes the ginormous pancakes *G*..

Her husband, Rex, who is my 'boyfriend', had had major heart surgery just before Christmas, and seemed to be well on the road to orneryness that makes him special..

Saturday night, however, it seems he had an undetected blood clot, and he passed away.  I know that Rita's heart must be breaking because they loved each other so dearly, you could see it in their eyes when they looked at each other, and the way they still held hands after 30 years of marriage...
~*~~*~
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says...

'Oh shit....she's awake!!'
