Mr. V's Journey To Recovery

Last night my mom and Uncle Rudy went to see my dad around 8:00pm when visiting hours started again. I was catching up on my tv on hulu.com, its an awesome website for people who do not have DVR. Anyways when my mom and uncle came back I asked how dad was doing and if he was blinking more. My mom said that Mr. V was blinking and trying to mouth words again. I just about dropped my open my mouth to the floor. Oh but it gets so much better. She said they saw a doctor and waived her over to dad's room and asked about my dad's condition. I was expecting the "he is still stable but not getting better or worse condition" but instead she said that his heart was beating on its own with no medicine and he was completely off his blood pressure medicine and that he was maintaining his own blood pressure. That completely floored us but not really because we all knew Mr. V had it in him. Tell my dad he has a weak heart when we all know he has the biggest strongest heart there is. She continued to tell my mom of course he is still very critical but if keeps this up he is heading in the right direction. She made it clear to my mom this will not be in a couple of days or weeks but in the far future if he keeps it up. My mom and I know this because he did sustain very serious injuries that of course his body needs plenty of time to repair itself. She said his kidneys are still damaged but right now they could go either way, restore themselves or he could have chronic kidney damage and need dialysis for the rest of his life. My dad has been there before he can kick start those kidneys. His liver is still damaged as are his lungs. But he is still here and has been stable since Tuesday when they dropped the bomb on us (reminder: told us he had multi-organ failure). My Tia Sylvia told my mom that my dad has lasted this long because God wants him here with us. I am not a very spiritual person but I do believe that my dad is still here with us for a reason, he has more life to live.

When I saw him finally last night, I just blabbered on and on about stuff. Told him my friend's cheesy joke she posted on facebook about Tiger woods, What do you call a Tiger? A Lion Cheetah, get it, yeah I laughed but i love corny jokes. I think my dad tried to laugh or roll his eyes. I had to update him on celebrity gossip, I am trying not to watch real news right now because yeah I have enough to deal with then listening about sadness everywhere. He tried to talk to me too! I was so happy but it zapped all his energy so I just talked to him until he fell asleep and said we will be back early to read Da Vinci Code to him. So I have to finish getting ready folks to head out to the hospital. I will update more if there is anything that changes. Thanks again for your prayers and thoughts.
