I want to Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and well wishes for my step father, you are the best with such caring hearts! I truly believe the little family you see above is what made him fight hard enough to survive this, the Dr. said it is nothing short of a miracle that he is still with us! He told my step father outright before they took him into surgery "I will be honest with you, you have a 20% chance of surviving the operation" Statistics show that 50% of folks who have a ruptured aneurysm will not make it to a hospital, you bleed internally to the point of your organs shutting down. The last words he said to my mom as they took him into the OR were "I just want to be here to see the munchkin" his nickname for Tyler:) As of last night he was awake, alert and looking forward to mom & I coming to visit today! My son is sick, was in bed all day yesterday, so I am hoping he feels better soon because he is coming HOME in 10 days!!!!! Thank you all again, I guess Christmas really is the time for miracles:)

Good Morning Carmen Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWill continue to storm the heavens with prayers for your dear FIL. This is a time of year for miracles. Your family has already witnessed one of them.
What a precious photo of your family. I know you are all counting days until they get back home and you can enjoy the family time together. Your home will be full of love and laughter for the holidays. I knw they are counting down as well. Hope your son gets to feeling better. It is no fun to be sick, but especially at this time of year.
Keep us posted on your FIL. Take care sweet friend. Hugs to you from across the miles. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Carmen, thank you for the update. It is great news. I hope he continues to heal and do well for all of you including little "Munchkin"!
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Jodi
Prayers going up for your FIL and for your son to get well before he comes home. Prayer makes things happen. I'm sending many!

Hope he was doing well when you went to visit him today. He too has a lot to look forward to when the kids get home so maybe that will help him to continue fighting to get better. Hope your son gets better real quick and that none of the rest of them get it either.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself too!
Wishing you some peace and calmness in the coming days.
Carmen,
ReplyDeleteHope your step dad is doing well...will continue to say prayers for him.
