I just got back form 12+ hours at the hospital. My dad has spent the last four days in the ER, and was admitted to the intensive care unit this morning when he started to slip into a coma.
he was diagnosed with having intense sleep apnea, and COPD, his carbon levels in his blood are extremely high, causing him to go into a deep sleep, not being able to wake up.
they have him on a bronchial dilator, (if i can remember thats what it was..) and if he dosn't improve, they will have to place a tube down his throat and into his lungs, helping him breathe.
Its been hard for my family to see him here. This is the first time i've ever seen my dad in the hospital. my family and I have always found my dad to be the strongest person we know.
and its extremely hard for me, seeing my dad in this helpless state. growing up, my dad has always been my superman. I always think of my dad as the man who loosened the bolts that I couldn't. I was such a whimpy kid growing up, and he was such a big, strong guy, who taught me how to be strong today.
Please, include him in your prayers,
I don't want to lose my dad.
