More problems

Even on no sleep last night - we made plans to have breakfast at the diner this morning. Andy, Mom, Amanda, Christina, Pete, Me & the girls. After breakfast Pete and I headed to the hospital with the girls to come see Peter, Joey & Kristin. Uncle Ray and Aunt Linda were here too.

We tried to get in to see my dad but they said they were doing a procedure and we needed to wait 1/2 hour. None of us were told they were doing anything so my aunt asked that someone come out and talk to us.

His lung collapsed again. They had to do surgery to fix/replace the chest tube that he had in. His lung/lungs are getting worse and they had a surgeon come evaluate him to see if there's anything they can do. Short of it is - no. Nothing can be done. The nurse that came out to talk to us kept stressing how very critically ill dad is.

Peter & Joey went in to see him. Peter came right back out. It's so hard to see our father like this. Some days we can handle it...or at least keep ourselves composed on the outside. But other days we there's nothing we can do but cry.

There's no doubt that he's sick. There's no doubt that they have tried everything in their power to fix him. There's also no doubt that we still have hope. There's no doubt that we love him and there's no doubt that we will be here for every step of this process.
