Mr. V's Journey To Recovery

We had left the hospital at 9:30 p.m. When we arrived to my house to have a restful sleep, Dr. Bones called my mom at 10:45 pm to say my dad needed surgery and she needed to come back to sign consent forms. Dr. Bones explained my dad was getting too much blood product i.e. plasma and platelets and that too much could be toxic to his body and cause him to die. My mom and I drove back to the hospital and here we are spending the night again. Dr. Valdez spoke to us about the operation, he said that my dads broken ribs are very sharp and they are against veins and arteries and every time he has been moved those ribs have been cutting some veins and arteries. Their main goal is to stop the bleeding and tie up the veins and arteries that have been cut. They are doing exploratory surgery to do this and make sure there is no other bleeding elsewhere. We asked if they were going to fix the ribs while they were at it, he said no because their main goal was to stop the bleeding. My mom signed the consent form and they were on their way to get my dad disconnected and sent off to OR. I want my dad to make it through this surgery he has too. I know everything has taken a toll on him but he has to fight. I know I am in a good hospital with good doctors and I know its out of my hands all I can do is give my dad strength and pray we all pray he makes it out okay. My dad is a survivor he has the eye of the tiger. We all thank you for your love and support and your thoughts and prayers.
