Week 3 (Assignment 2 of 3)

I choose to insert the blooper video from the Big Bang Theory from You Tube because it is one of my father’s favorite shows to watch.  For the most part I intended my blog to be about Becca and the girls, but I just flew into Kansas City and I am sitting in the cardiac intensive care unit waiting room.  My father received a heart transplant 28 days ago and he still has not been able to leave the hospital.  Everything with his new heart is really going well, but while he was on the donor list he was on some pretty strong medications and apparently they affected his lungs and other organs.  This is disheartening on many levels, everyone thought the heart transplant would be the big hurdle and it surely is not.  He has been sedated and intubated on two different occasions, once for three days, and the last time for six days.  His lungs are not saturating oxygen and providing it to the rest of his body.  His kidneys were shutting down, but now the kidneys are getting better.  It is a big waiting game, I could write a ton more, but I am really not in the mood too…
