Medical update for today is that Mike had an ekg yesterday and we found out this morning he has cardiopulmonary hypertension. That's not good! Today he had respiratory therapy (for the pneumonia)he got up and walked twice, had a shower and a shave (my first time shaving my husband in 47 years). AND ate better than he has for a week. Dr. North says (probably)they will let him go home tomorrow. (Which is now today) He is checking with a cardiologist to see what medicine to put Mike on. Dr. Mumford is going to contact Dr. Ott (the surgeon in SLC) and let him know every thing that has gone on here over the past week.
It is 2:58 a.m. and it seems I fell asleep while typing. Marrit must have taken the computer from my lap and covered me up. I just called the hospital because I couldn't stop thinking about Mike. They say he is doing okay and had just had more pain medication.
I need to write about the blessing Curtis gave Mike last Saturday night in the ER. I listened carefully because I truly believe in blessings. Curtis said that Heavenly Father loved Mike and that he is very aware of him and that Mike has work to be done. He said his Dad would make a full recovery. Those were the words I was waiting to hear and worried that I would not.
Later this week Curtis talked to me and told me he couldn't remember anything he had said except that his Dad would be made well. He told me they were not his words, but that everything he had said came to him from the spirit. I am truly blessed to have a son like Curtis. I am truly blessed to have another son Scott who loves his Dad so very much and has worried day and night. Michelle and Marrit, I don't know what I would have done without them. Michelle has been at the hospital every moment she could, asking the doctors questions and giving me her shoulder to cry on. Marrit has left her home and husband to be with her Dad and I. What a comfort they both have been to me this last week. The four of them are such good people and have husbands and wives that support them and understand what they are going through with their Dad's illness.
We have a long road ahead of us and I hope that I can be the support Mike needs. I have tried to be strong and not just cry all the time. But it has been very hard to see this man I love be so ill. We have so much more ahead of us that is unknown. Surgery and possibly, chemo and radiation. He has always been so strong and it hurts me to see him in so much pain.
It's 3:30a.m. now and I need to try and get some sleep. Thanks everyone for their prayers and thoughts. Love you all. Mom
