Mr. V's Journey To Recovery

I think this song is fitting for my dad and his situation. In Rocky III, Rocky Balboa was going against Clubber aka Mr. T and he was big and had a mohawk and large gold jewelry but did Rocky give up, heck no he clobbered Clubber, because he had spirit and was the underdog, as always. My dad is a survivor and yes his daughter is a movie freak that happens to love all the Rocky movies except Rocky V ugh we don't talk about that one. Today my dad had a trying round with his body but his spirit didn't give up. He showed them with his one two south paw punches. My mom and I talk to him everyday that he is doing so well he can do this.

My dad is in high alert critical condition meaning they are really watching him and the doctor on call is checking on him. As I told you guys in the last post he was internally bleeding again, well it has slowed down a bit but he still needs blood and his blood pressure dropped. His body temperature has dropped too. His Nurse, New Lady Nurse (forgive me he has so many its hard to remember the names) has been keeping an eye on him. New Lady Nurse said they are keeping an eye on his blood pressure, his blood count, his heart rate and his body temperature and then some. They want him to remain stable through the night and they are once again pumping him with lots of fluids so he has a swollen body again. He doesn't need surgery thus far and the doctors do not want to perform surgery unless they need to in his condition because to do so would be risky. But my dad is Rocky Balboa when they think he is down he gets up and knocks some sense into them.

He tells us with his eyes he is fighting hard to recover. We tell him just by resting and letting the nurses and doctors tend to him he is doing so much to repair himself. We are in the hospital tonight spending the night because my mom and I want to be close and I think my dad can sense when we are close. I feel that our strength and I mean all of us here who are his family, friends, acquaintences touched by him, that our strength, give him strength. Your thoughts and prayers help us get through the rough patches and helps us celebrate the good things that happen. We love you all. My dad has the eye of the tiger, he is El Tigre.
