Such is life...

Well daddy is doing much better :) was finally able to come home, but still has very little muscle function. He starts therapy this week. Was close to loosing him there for a while, and I can honestly say, I don't know what I would do without my daddy. He has been such a big part of my life that if I were to loose him I honestly think my world would fall apart.

Since I have been on light duty my paycheck took a hit...so a little slim on money at the time, trying to make ends meet. Just trying to get by the best we can.

Go to court first of March for a "sperm-donor" maybe if he would take care of his responsibilities the way a father should I would not have to struggle so much to make ends meet. Not once has he paid anything like he should. Over $1500 behind...

Shoulder is still killing me..Go to the doctor at 9 in the morning. More than likely MRI and possibly surgery in the future. Almost two months and still no improvement?? Come on doc.

Baby girl's tube fell out of her right ear the other night. This only makes the second time they have fallen out too soon. I know they are supposed to fall out on their own but not within months of them being put in..something's got to give. She has a little cold right now, but once she gets over it if we still have problems...back to the dr we go.

Signing up lil man for t-ball. I am sure he will enjoy it. He loves to hit the ball now...hoping that he will be able to get the concept and have fun.

Feel like I'm just doing a lot of rambling...

Such is life...

Update

So far all you know is that there was problems....they finally transported him lights and sirens all the way to Piedmont (four hours away) once they got him in, admitted, and stable they went in to find out what the problem was. The cuff (where the new pancreas was placed) has leaked all the toxins from the pancreas into his abdomen. The kidney looks good and is producing fluid well so there are high hopes for it. But to save him and the kidney they went ahead and removed the pancreas. The doctor said..."Can we fix it?? Yes we can but 10 out of 10 times it creates more problems." So they went ahead and took the pancreas. This means he just goes back to being diabetic. Is it disappointing? Yes. But can we live with this? YES!! We have been down this road and with his insulin pump, we have learned how to regulate his sugar levels. If it would have been the other way around and the kidney was the problem, he would have lost both the kidney and the pancreas. At least this way we can still live a "normal" life with no dialysis. Please continue to pray because we are not out of the woods yet. He is still critical and in ICU but stable. He is in surgery now trying to clean out some of the toxins and there is a possibility that it will have to be done again. He is not being "closed up" until all the toxins are gone and it is safe for a permanent closing. It is tough, he is on a respirator and constant dialysis just to keep the strain off the organs and give them a chance to recuperate. Things are looking up but we are not done yet. Many prayers have been said and are continuing to be said. We are thankful for the friends and family that we have. They mean the world to us and have done so much for us. We are lucky to have the support system that we do and for that we are eternally grateful. Until next time...be safe out there....

Not such a great day...

Well, for you that have been reading, you know that my dad got a transplant...well about 0530 this morning he started getting weak, to the point of nearly passing out. He ended up falling and being as how he has been staying with my grandparents (for constant around the clock care) they ended up calling the ambulance because they were not able to get him up. I can deal with a lot of things...a lot of bad things that most people never even dream of seeing in their lifetime, things that I would never wish for anyone to have to see or deal with, most of the time I can handle them and I am fine...when it comes to my dad...that is not the case. I am a BIG daddy's girl, tomboy some might call it, but either way when I walked into the ER and saw the state my dad was in, I totally lost it. The local hospital where he was taken drew labs and the only thing they can tell us (being as how they are not transplant specialists) is that his potassium level is too high, they give him medication to bring it down and that didn't work. So at the present moment he is in dialysis to lower his levels and as soon as he becomes stable he will be transported via ambulance back to Piedmont. Worst case scenario the kidney is no longer functioning. Not in such a great mood right now...just trying to stay busy at work. How can I stay busy on light duty?? There is really nothing that I can do. Pray. Lots and lots of prayers. Going to be stressful...will try to keep updated the best possible.
