update

Hey everyone, just an update things are still the same.  He is hanging on.  He still has the breathing tube, but he went from like 13-14 IV's to 6-7 so thats good.  He is gonna need a bypass surgery when he is able to make it through it.  I had to leave yesterday to come home and that was so hard.  Did you know even if you don't eat you can still get the foamies????? NASTY..... anyways I am eating and taking care of my self because my dad needs me more than ever so I need to be healthy for him.  Thanks for all the calls, emails and prayers you guys are great.  I will be home until friday morning then I will be back in fargo until sunday and thats my life for the next month or 2.  No coffee's yet in my future....... I seen my gramms yesterday on the way home and she is in strong denial and thats hard.  I have to explain to her everyday almost that dad is not doing good and that sucks let me tell ya.  Take care everyone.......Marsha

Marsha, I totally understand the taking care of dad thing taking up all of your "spare" time, and that you wouldn't have it any other way.  But DO continue to take care of you, and to give time to YOUR family.  I had one entire winter, Nov. 8 'til Feb. 11, with my dad hospitalized.  It caused stresses I never anticpated or even recognized until after the fact, and I didn't have the distance issue you have. 

Holler if you ever need another sympathetic ear, k?  Love and hugs to ya - 

Marsha,

I hope that your dad continues to improve. I understand whether they are step or natural our parents are super important to us. I know you have been through alot but you have a faith that is so strong and will carry you through.

Hugs from me, Laurie and the Nemi Princess/Monkey

Hi Marsha...I know how hard it was to leave your dad. My heart is breaking for you.

Like you said there is someone in Fargo that will be with him and will spend the nights there. That will help some. At least you know he isn't totally alone.

It was so nice to talk to you this morning. I am never more then a phone call away sweetie. Day or night or the middle of the night....ANYTIME!!! 

I love you my dear friend....gentle hugs...connied

Happy to hear your dad is improving. Hope you can get some rest and recoup before your next visit back on Friday.

Marsha,

I contine to think about you and your family and pray for your father.  You have been through so much in the past year - I can't imagine how you're holding it all together. Please be sure to take care of yourself through this process - like you said, you need to be healthy to be there for your father and the rest of your family! 

Thanks for updating us all!  Hugs to you!

Marsh,

It was so nice to hang out last night....even if it was just going to the grocery store. 

You know if you need anything I am here.....just say the word.

So your little man at walmart tonight.  He was surprised when I tapped him on the shoulder.

Love ya!
