Hi everyone,  I hope all is well, and I wish everyone who is new and having surgery, or going through the procedures the best of luck.  I am not on as much as I would like to be......

Now the update on my dad..... What a fricken emotional rollercoaster....... One day he is good, the next day is good,then it goes down hill and I wonder what to do.  Am I doing the right thing for him????  On sunday during the day they took him all the way off his knock out medication for an hour and I got to talk to him.  Oh my gosh you guys it was so awesome I was on cloud 9.....  He listened to everything I told him to do, he squeezed myhands and let go on command, he blinked his eyes twice in a row on command, he wiggled his toes for me, and he wanted to sit up so laurie(his honey for the last 12 years) we lifted him up off his tooshey andhe helped with his feet to boost him up.  My dad is very tall and he has a hard time with beds.   Sunday was the best day off my life but I think I worked him to hard because he wouldn't wake up at all on monday for me the had him off his  knock out stuff for over 5 hours and nothing he didn't care one bit.  I had to leave Fargo yesterday and I will be going back up friday morning.  The held off surgery Monday because he was so unresponsive and his numbers were way to low... they are trying again for today at noon.  I feel so bad I am not there but I have not worked much in the last 2 weeks and I need to work.  I am having major problems with my dumb asssss brother and we ahd it out yesterday once again.  He threatened me again with I am not family and he is the only family and he is gonna have me kicked out of dads room and I won't be allowed in there and I was like what ever dummy.... Good news is he has  a warrent for his arrest from my lawyer  but it doesn't have anything to do with me or my dad some other dumb stuff he does..... so I am hoping he will go to jail soon.  My lawyer is so awesome I talked to him yesterday again and he hates my brother... we are still in the process of getting everything like that straightened out to get custody of my dad  I need more proof for the judge......each day the dummy gives me more info to put him away....  He is stealing money from my dad and that I think is  federal and state crime for taking advantage of a person who is unresponsive or what ever you want to call it.  He got a hotel for the whole weeekend up there, he eats out every meal, He swears at the doctors and nurses, he tells them whats what..... this is just the beginning of it  just to give you an idea what I have to deal with.... WTF>>>>>>>>>Sorry so long just needed to vent... Ya know I feel better that i got some off this off my chest other than blabbing to my family....... I will post later and let you know if they did surgery and how he is..... Please say one more prayer for him, and if ya can a small prayer for my brother to go to the slammer LOLOLO.... Hugs everyone.....Marsha

Honey...I just love you. I am soooo sorry your brother is being such a jerk!! Wish I was there to kick him in the ass!!!!!
I hope they lock him up soon. There are laws about the things he is doing to your dad.....what goes around comes around!!

I pray for you everyday and hope you are taking good care of yourself. We sure all miss you when you are gone. I wish there was something I could do to help.

Much love, prayers and gentle hugs......connie d

Hi Marsha- I'm sure it's incredibly difficult to see your dad unresponsive like he's been, plus your brother crap on top of it all.    That's so great you got to interact with him  on Sunday. I bet with all that's been going on it was just the thing you needed to keep you going.

Special thoughts and vibes sent your way. May the power of HE double tooth picks reach up and grasp your brother by the balls and drag him to a much un-nicer( lol I know that isn't a real word- don't tell my students!)place. Ok how about a much warmer place? LOL 
Take care and keep us posted.
