Hello everyone and thanks again ... the prayers are continued to be needed, even more so, now more than ever ... my father is battling as his condition worsened this afternoon ... he had a trachy done and the surgery went good but his heart rate was up ... I'm really scared right now ... just as scared as I was when Hurricane Hugo struck ...

I've never been so scared in my life right now. :cry: :cry:

It's supposed to be temporary (due to the swelling in the throat from yesterday's procedure), but I think I'm even more concerned about his heart again.

You know I will do that ... and you all know that the love from my family is keeping me strong, though, I've broken down a couple of times outside today ... I'm pretty numb and can't eat right now ... and physically achy at times from this ...

Everyone here at S2k has been wonderful and along with the support from my family (my stepmother, and stepbrothers) have kept me going as much as I can ...

Good morning, everyone.

My father's condition this morning is a little bit better ... his blood pressure / heart rate is back down in safer levels ... he also ran a fever yesterday evening ... The latest I have is that he had some rough moments last night.

I was able to eat a NORMAL (big lunch) today, thank goodness.

Update: My father's heart rate is down to 120 now ... which is a hell of a lot better than 165. The trachy procedure seems to be doing quite well with his breathing since the swelling in his throat hasn't gone down yet. I think now he's through the worst, but still a ways to go ... a determination will be made if he'll be in ICU for 2 days or up to 2 weeks ... so I await the news.
