Not doing well
« on: June 26, 2006, 05:23:22 pm »
Hi everyone -

I know I am not the biggest poster on the site but I am feeling that I need the BPO family.

My father-in-law is in the hospital in Buffalo, NY, he had surgery on Thursday for a double bypass - this is his third bypass and we were told very risky - he came thru the surgery OK but has an infection that they can't find, there are so many complications :'(.  They can't do the cat scan until they take out the heart pump and they can't do that until his heart is OK on its own.  The doctors believe the infection is in the bowel and from what I understand if the bowel goes it is over...he is working so hard to get better and this could do him in.  I was up in Buffalo (about 90 miles from my house) on Saturday and Sunday, then I came home Sunday night because he was doing OK - I was home less than an hour and got a call from my poor hubby who is SO strong but he was so upset I packed the kids back up in the car and off we went again.  I just came home again (Monday night).  It is such a see-saw; let me say that my FIL is not the healthies guy alive and this fight is taking so much out of him.

He is a lovely man (we have had a few differences but have worked things out).  So please if you have a minute say a good word for my FIL - Phil.

Thanks so much for listening

Randy

Sending you good thoughts and hugs for your entire family, especially your father in law.  Hang in there, it sounds like he is a fighter and will keep on trying.
