Update on Dad... Not good.
« on: February 05, 2007, 03:12:31 PM »
It's been one hell of a week.

Dad had his surgery on Friday, and came through well. Surgeon was very pleased with the entire process.

Early Saturday morning, Dad's heart stopped.

They were able to get it started again, but it really looks as if he's gone. He's on life support, but he's non responsive.

They simply don't have an explanation for why his heart stopped. No heart attack, no stroke, no clots. No explanation.

They were doing an EEG this evening when we left the hospital, but in my heart I really think that Dad is gone, and the only thing left is the body.

We'll know hopefully some more over the coming days, but I really don't think it's going to change for the better.

Sorry to read this Mike. You've been having a tough time, and although we only know each other very vaguely through these forums I have found myself thinking about you since your last few posts.
I do not like, when with me play, and I think that you also

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Mike.

I don't normally respond to these type of threads but I have been reading your posts for a while now and want to let you know you are in my thoughts.

Mike, don't give up hope.

I know that sounds like bull, but my father has been in for just about every heart-related problem for years. He'll be 90 years old in May.

If this is the end of the line for your father, I hope that the two of you had a good relationship.

Whatever the outcome, my sincere prayers are with you.

I know you also just lost your dog.  I know it doesn't compare to your father, but the extra blow certainly doesn't make it any easier.  My prayers are with you.

Hang in there, Mike.  Best thoughts and prayers for your father.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
