Hey I just wanted an update on your dad. I know dealing with a loved one being sick is hard. I lost my grandfather to lung cancer during finals last semester. Christ hospital, depending on the nurses is a great place. Last year when my grandmother was in ICU there all 8 of her kids decided to stay the night in the ICU waiting room, The entire week or so that she was in there. You would have to know my family to know how comic this is but lets just say by the end of the week the hospital staff kicked them out and said that they were no longer allowed to sleep there anymore. They had it to the point where they took mattresses off of empty beds that were lying in the hallways and everything.

Thanks for asking, Amber. My dad went HOME yesterday!!!! He is going to have home health and physical therapy come to the house three times a week. No one is giving up - we're all FIGHTERS!
ReplyDeleteDad was in a new Medical ICU unit that just opened a few weeks ago. It was high tech and had the coolest waiting room, separate relaxation lounge, resource room and kitchen. Mom was even allowed to stay all night in the ICU room WITH my dad. There was a small couch in there next to his bed. It's just the coolest place I've ever seen.
I can imagine my extended family camping out in the waiting room - it would be nearly as comical as what I am imagine yours may have been!
