My mom went to visit my dad when she got done working this afternoon, to find he had digressed yet again. Slow, garbled, weak. She said he had improved slightly by the time she headed home this evening, but the scan they did this afternoon shows a little bleed by the clot. Dr said he it isn't "critical" just "difficult."
I was planning to go over tomorrow afternoon and stay for Thanksgiving day and maybe through the weekend, but since we seem to have this giant black cloud that refuses to budge, that won't be happening. I now have a fever, so my visiting and bringing germs becomes the last thing my daddy needs, despite how much I would like to be with him and my mom and sis.

Hi Jana
ReplyDeleteWe are so grateful that you are taking the time to keep us posted on your Dad. He has been a good friend to us for many years. You mentioned that you are reluctant to go for a visit today because you have some flu type thing yourself. We know this is none of our business, but we would encourage you to make the trip anyway. You can then be in a position to judge wether or not it will make any difference to your Dad's condition if you see him. The doctor saying the bleeding is not critical does not mean that your Dad's overall condition is not critical at this point. He may need to know you are there. Whatever you decide know that you are in our thoughts and we send our love, Diane and Rick Bunting
Diane, thank you. I don't have your email, but mine is jana.seitzer@gmail.com. We are hoping to do calling hours on Mon and the service on Tues. If you want to email me, I will keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteBest,
