The string of problems continue.
Today the clutch went out on the semi. We thought Dad’s surgery would be today,
but it has been postponed because of problems from the scope they did
yesterday. Some of the fluids got into his pancreas and now he has
pancreatitis. This is very serious and he has to have another scope done and
they will put in a stent to keep the fluid from going into the pancreas. All
talk of surgery is on hold until his pancreas heals. I went to the hospital in
the late afternoon to see Dad and brought him some balloons. He had the second
scope and was still pretty relaxed and pain free from the sedation. He asked me
questions and talked to me. He knew what was going on and for the most part he
said he didn’t know if he was in any pain. He would talk to me for a few
minutes, then sleep for a few. He did this the whole time. I held his hand and
prayed with him, Alice, and Mom. Mom and I went for supper before heading home.
Mom plans to stay with Dad, and Alice, being a former nurse wants
to be there to watch over Dad too. I think he will be well taken care of.
