My Dad is sick. I may not answer your PM, email or reported post(s) right away

AK370Z · 10-19-2009, 09:48 PM

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it!

He is still pretty weak. His heart is still controlled via medicine and pacer (external temporary). Until his heart become more stable, they are planning on keeping him on the vent. Instead of through the mouth (the one he currently has), they are going to bring him in the OR tomorrow and put a track tube in. It's the same concept of artificial breathing but this one goes right below the neck. It's suppose to be more comfortable for the patient. We just have to wait and see how he does. BTW, today he opened his eyes and moved his arm/legs etc. He was following everything we were saying, i guess that's a positive sign.

thanks

AK

Excellent, it will take time. My Dad went through this 7 years ago. Be patient and strong, and in time he will slowly get better, we are praying for him!

Great news, AK. Sounds like he's making progress! It's slow at first but as he regains strength, speed of healing will increase. I know all this from experience with my father-in-law, who made it to 93 after a triple bypass.

StLRedrider · 10-20-2009, 01:03 PM

keep posting the great news Ak

from the og's.jpgthese are for your father from the OG'S

AK370Z · 10-20-2009, 01:17 PM

Thanks to all of your prayers, he was doing very well today morning. They turned the vent down and he was able to breathe on his own pretty good. So, they cancelled the trach tube and simply extubated him! He is still on oxygen , but it's a lot better than breathing with tube down the throat. Now, he just have to maintain this progress

semtex · 10-20-2009, 01:18 PM

That is FANTASTIC, AK!!!! Awesome news!
