Need Prayers.......

Well Dad has done so much better since the last time I posted an update! The past few days he has been doing so much hard work to get off the ventalator I can't believe it. Now for the last couple of days his labs have been coming back way better than the doc's were thinking they would! Good to hear right? Now we had been told this morning that they wanted to test him on his breathing for 4 HOURS! Well Doug and myself pushed him for 3.5 of them to keep his air up to over ten breaths per min! He was a trooper during the whole thing and the best news of all was that he passed his test with flying colors!
Then the doc's set up a couple more tests for later in the day to test his intake which he had to pull in as much air as he could through this little gauge and he passed that one with running the gauge around almost 2 full revolutions, Very COOL! The next test they gave him a bigger gauge and told him that he needed to exhale as hard as he could while they plugged the other side to hold the pressure and he nailed that one with 60 PSI,WOW they said that those tests were done with almost unheard of results! They could not believe what they were watching unfold from a guy who was in his shape when he arrived in there care. Took his vent out now we got a tough road ahead to get him back his before time the best possible. One more time we are so GREAT FULL for all the support hear from the forum brotherhood and families too!!!!!!

Thanks Dan and Doug

This is really good news Dan. Doug sent me several messages this week and last week, saying how your dad was coming around. Pretty good, considering how you guys were looking at having to pull the plug, then going to this. I'm happy that you two get to enjoy your dad for a while longer. I heard it was a little "cold" in the room today when your dad learned that his DNR request wasn't upheld.

Dan,Doug! Glad to hear that he is doing so much better!

I will say this........

PRAYER, WORKS!!!!!!!





Thanks to all that did and do.

You're welcome Doug

Done! I hope every thing works out.

Well thanks guy's.
All is going pretty good still I stepped out today for a little brake and I guess all hell broke loose with the nurse that was in charge of Dad today was just a lazy BITCH who is one of the people that should not be working in the job she has! She said she fed dad his breakfast when in fact I did it, don't mind helping out but at least own up to it. Same thing was at lunch time brought lunch in and said to mom you may have to feed him lunch I gotta go eat mine! WTF! And when mom said something now we are all like lepers and the nursing staff won't even acknowledge you now when you ask for shit they get to when they get to it! Tonight they brought a nurse all the way from Butte which is 70 miles away to take care of dad and she hasn't even been in his room since she's been here for an 1 and 1/2hrs. I have been doing it all since I got back tonight, I love our dad but "NOT MY JOB"! Plus the CRACK has a COLD again WTF! So if you don't want your loved ones to pull through just bring them up to ST. PETERS HOSPITAL here in Helena MT. and they will be sure to do what ever they can for you. Our hospital has spent so much money in the past to do all these upgrades to be one of the better hospitals around and we were told that they ARE NOT SETUP FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN TO STABLEIZE AND SHIP THEM OUT SOMEWHERE ELSE WTF!!!!

Well I think I have vented enough but I am STILL PISSED OFF ABOUT IT ALL!
