Dad

Well dad had his surgery on Monday and was doing really good the next day. Then early Wednesday morning he started to be less responsive and his cranial pressure was rising. He ended up having a hematoma fill in the place where the tumor was and they had to go back in and do a second surgery to remove the hematoma. He is off the vent now and is doing a little better his pressures are better, not exactly where the doctor wants to see them but better. He has been a little nausea's this morning and his blood pressure keeps jumping up pretty high. They are trying to control it with meds. They have cultured his drain fluid to check for infection. It has been a very long week. All the days are running together. We have been taking shifts to stay here with dad. Hopefully we are past the worst part and are on the up swing. I will keep everything posted as I can. All prayers are needed and are appreciated.

Update

Well a lot has happened since my last post. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the boys and then we got them the second week of Christmas break & had a fabulous New Years Eve Kids party. Since then a lot of bad news has came to surface. My dad has a brain tumor, which his operation was today. It was a 7 cm tumor and a 61/2 hour surgery. He is stable in ICU right now, but it has been a long week, then to top it off my aunt, my dads sister has been diagnosed with Breast cancer. Prayer is needed from as many people as possible. Work is going good, but it has also had it's ups and downs the past few weeks. I am keeping my head up and trying to be positive. I know the man upstairs is on my side and is taking all of this in his hands. I will try to keep more posted soon. Brysen and Masen are doing good. Masen is a 3 month old 13lb baby. You would never know that he was premature. Well more to come & more pictures.
