Dad In The Hospital





Well....We went home for a funeral and ended up spending most of our time in the hospital with my Dad. He went into CFH, worsening Renal Failure and had a heart attack. He was transferred from our local hospital to a bigger facility (a heart center)--only this was an hour away from my parents house. He had a big week, getting a temporary dialysis access (His AV Fistula wasn't ready to use), a heart cath, blood transfusion, iron infusions, the start of hemodialysis... All was going well.. He finally had his heart cath but not such good news. He has 2 80% Blockages and a 100% blockage. He now has to have CABG next week. It was definately a trying week. Dad is still in the hospital, wishing he could get out and go home for a while before the bypass surgery. Keep him in your prayers. J
