Recovery - Update (4/27)

Dad is still recovering from his second surgery. He is very very medicated to increase his health (many IVs). As I mentioned yesterday, increasing his white blood cell count will truly help speed up his recovery. His medication is stimulating his bone marrow to produce more blood cells, platelets and white blood cells.

His currently on a respirator, and will be until Monday at the earliest (the intent here is to focus his body can recover his blood's volume). During that time, Dad will be heavily sedated and sleeping a lot.

When you call his name he can here you, and opens his blurry eyes, but cannot speak or communicate in anyway. I know it must be frustrating for him.

I should be a quiet weekend, knowing that he will not be able to move or breathe on his own.

Allie and I would like to thank everyone for their words of encouragement during this hard time.
