Fuck...Why can't my dad just get better and come home?!
First they thought it was congestive heart failure, but it wasn't, just a massive kidney infection. They thought they could laser the stones out, but no, he needs actual under the knife surgery. :cry:

Then, they found out he has diabetes. :cry:

Now, we just get a call, he also has a collection of blood on top of the brain, between the frontal and parietal lobes. Similar to an aneurysm, but not. Hoping it will reabsorb, but if not, more surgery. Daily MRIs for now. :cry:

Daddy's not coming home anytime soon... :cry:

I'm so tired, and frustrated, and worried. I miss my dad. x(

7. Take care of yourself...
I know it's probably the last thing on your mind, but please ensure that you take good care of yourself. Make sure you eat and rest.

I'm thinking of you and sending some good vibes to your dad.

:loveya:

8. I'm so sorry....
How overwhelming this must be.
It sounds like he's getting good care and that they're checking him out from all angles. It sucks to get all this bad news, but at least you can be fairly sure there aren't any stones being left unturned.

12. This is fucked
I'm so sorry Bi-Baby.


Last time I checked in he was coming home.... and that was a while ago!

Still... maybe this is for the best ( although scary and sad and lonely). If they have found these problems maybe they can do something and he'll come home healthier and better. And that's good, right?

But, in the meanwhile, my heart goes out to you and your father. My prayers will be with you and him....

Khash.
