Merry Christmas a little late to each and every one of you. I hope you were on Santa's good list and I hope you enjoyed celebrating Jesus Birthday as much as myself and my family. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and most of Christmas day, but we ended up in the emergency room Christmas day around 6:00pm with my father-in-law. He was having tremendous abdominal pain and nausea and when we got home from my Aunts house, we decided he should go to the hospital because all 5 of the heart attacks he has had have started with stomach pain and nausea. When we got to the hospital his blood pressure was 268/118. Luckily there was no signs of heart trouble or a heart attack. So they did a CT scan of his entire torso and determined that he has a blockage in his small intestine/bowl and at 10pm Christmas night he was admitted to the hospital. So here we sit hoping for some answers as to if and when he will have surgery. Right now he has a tube up his nose, down his throat and into his stomach and he is in lots of pain still. He is getting morphine and nausea medicine and today they inserted a PIC line because they are having lots of trouble drawing blood due to the all of his blood thinners he is on for his heart and since he is getting dehydrated due to not being allowed to eat or drink since being admitted. Hopefully sometime this evening or first thing tomorrow a decision will be made on surgery. He has 3 Dr's working with him including his heart Dr to determine the best plan of action. Of course since he has had triple bypass, valve replacement, he has 5 stints, he has a pacemaker and he has had both carotid arteries surgically opened working hand in hand with the heart Dr is very important to make sure there aren't any complications with his heart if and when they do surgery. It is looking like he will be having surgery because they haven't seen any improvement yet. Please keep him in your prayers and I will post an update when there are any changes.
Thanks and God Bless each and every one of you. Once we get him recovered and we are back home and back to normal I will post some pics from Christmas including pics of the puppies in their Christmas dress......they were so darn cute!
Blessings to you all!
