the hardest decision my family had to make in my dads care, was the one that we believe has saved his life. He is by no means out of the woods yet. But if he would have stayed on the Bi Pap mask for oxygen, we probably would have lost him already. By him being on the ventilator it has given his body the rest it needed to heal and get strong. He has had two good nights and the oxygen level that was at 90% yesterday is now down to 70% today. The goal is to get it to 40%. He has been taken of the dopamine and is on the strongest most potent antibiotic possible. This is the medical version of why he is still here.
I believe that my dad is still with us because the Lord has listened and continues to listen to the many prayers that have been said for him. Prayer groups were set up for him and many others continue to pray for him. The Lord listens to those in need and answers. My dad would not be here today and continue to improve without him. I continue to pray that the Lord knows my dad is still needed on this earth and is not ready to take him. I hope that this is just a strong wake up call from God, for a very stubborn old man who wasn't seeing the Lord's messages to him before. Whatever the outcome of this shocking and heart wrenching situation is, I know the Lord is in my life and will continue to be. He accepts unperfect me and is patient while i learn my lessons from him.
Please continue to pray for my dad and pray for those you dont know and haven't met yet. There are may in the hospital who are in the same situation that my dad is in and dont have the support that he has. I include those people, who are unknown to me, in my prayers too.
god is god, god is good.
faith patience and hope....all will be good in the end.
p.s. i love my dad and am not ready to lose him.
