Weekend Recap...

So about 4:30am Friday, dad woke up unable to breath or catch his breath.  Billy was in Charlotte at training so I called him.  Mom and I were unsure what to do.  When the ambulance show up, they were wonderful.  They took dad on in to the hospital to check him out. 

The doctor said many times specialist only look at what they specialized, and he was concerned with dads leg and the swelling so he wanted to check for blood clots.  Thank goodness he did.  He found that dad had multiple clots in each lung and some in his right leg.  He decided to admit dad. 

Dad was admitted and mom and I came home to finally get dressed...lol.  Billy came in late that night and I think that made dad very happy.  He loves us all, but he says Billy understands the doctors better...lol 

They started dad on blood thinner shots, got him feeling a little better and sent him home on Saturday.  He slept a lot yesterday, but he seemed to be feeling much better this morning.  As the day has gone on, his breathing has gotten a bit tougher for him. 

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers...

The past few days...

So the past few days have been pretty rough...Tuesday night we were up every 2 hours with dad having seizures.  They seem to be getting more intense and more frequent.  We went to Dr. Weise on Wednesday and she added another seizure med to to dads daily dose. 

Billy is in Charlotte and my mom has come to help me out.  Thank god for wonderful family members who are willing to come help out every month. 

We are having a BBQ this weekend for my birthday.  Dad was persistent that we celebrate and I was hoping for something quiet.  I know he isn't up to it, physically or mentally, and I can't say that I am either.  I focus on him so much that I'm afraid I won't enjoy myself.  Oh well...if it makes him happy, that is all that matters.
