Mr. V's Journey To Recovery

We just saw my dad. My mom was lucky enough to corner Nurse Sunshine and Dr. Hamilton. Dr. Hamilton told us my dad's abdomen had been closed, they didn't need it open anymore! He also told us about the surgery on his aorta but we already knew that went well. This is good news people because they had told us before it could be at LEAST a week before they could close up his abdomen. And it was only two days! Also Nurse Sunshine said he was off his sedative medication. So he could wake up later tonight or tomorrow morning. So he will be awake and alert, no talking yet as he is still being weened off the breathing machine. But this is good progress. Its still a long road ahead but everyday it gets better.

UPDATE:
Another Surgery, another day. Tomorrow my dad will be going for a percutaneous tracheostomy. This is a surgery in his throat so be can breathe better instead of tubes down his mouth through his trachea. We are not sure when the surgery will be done but my mom will be sure to find out and hope this time they will not lose him.
