Mr. V's Journey To Recovery

We got to see my dad again for a bit this afternoon. Dr. Bones was there and told us he is hanging in there, she is still monitoring him for his bleeding and so far it has not warranted enough for her to be concerned for surgery. The Nurses, Nurse Mary and Jennifer III, and Dr. Quentin were working on my dad replacing IV lines and one of his chest tubes. They want to make sure everything works and this hopefully will help, you need to replace IVs every once in a while when they are in your body so long. They also replaced his chest tube, it was slipping and it needed to be replaced with a new one and moved the chest tube to another place. This will hopefully help him drain fluid better. They also are running the dialysis to help flush out the fluids building him up. He is very puffy right now and you know what Mrs. V said. "Roel I hope you don't get stretch marks from all this bloating" Hahaha my mom and the nurses and doctor laughed. I said in my best Joey (my cousin) impersonation,"That is wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooong." We have to keep our sense of humor around dad it helps us. We need to laugh to keep our spirits up and it has. I will not lie we have had difficult times and times we have cried but we pull ourselves together and remember that we need to be strong and to just laugh. We have had our shares of inappropriate jokes about this situation but we know Mr. V would be laughing too because thats just how he is. He and my mom have the best senses of humor I know and thats one of the many reasons they are perfect together. Ah Que Mr. V as my mom always says. Again thank you for your thoughts and prayers he is fighting all the way.
