Dad!

Well my dad was sent over to the rehabilitation hospital for the physical therapy part of his recovery..and later in the day after he got there he stopped breathing and his heart stopped. They took him back to the hospital and got him back but found out that he has a really high fever and his heart rate is too high. They gave him antibiotics and he seemed to get better so he went back to the rehabilitation hospital. They did some blood work and found out that his white blood cell count had dropped and then dropped again..So again he went back to the regular hospital. He had to have a blood transfusion because he has lost a lot of blood but they are not sure where from..he is not bleeding out so it has to be somewhere inside. They have a team of doctors working on that. They also found out that he has pneumonia. He is stable and his heart rate has gone down. They tested his eyes and he can't see well at all. The upside to this is that his spirits are still really good and he jokes around with everyone and...my mom called me the other day and she says hold on..and then my dad started talking to me. It was soo cool. He was really hard to understand cuz he is really slurry but I understood what he said. That is the first time I have heard him talk since this whole thing started. That was awesome! Get well soon Dad..we love ya!
