lotessestate of the me update; medical details behind the cut
home for now. Dad's situation is still ongoing. I feel a little defeated by having to rest before we're on the other side. It was hard to leave.
He was awake last week, and off the vent, and he and I were struggling together to keep him from panting and panicking. The docs think he likely had undiagnosed COPD before the gallbladder infection & septic shock event, which would explain the struggle. He's back on the vent again, and today they're putting him under deeply, hoping he can receive the support he needs to be able to heal. There is hope, but risk of death is still quite real.
I will go back soon; unless another crisis comes, my aunts are holding down the fort this week, and my sister and her partner will go back on Friday. It was just me this last week, and I have to take the rest interval, or I won't be able to keep going. This seems like it's going to be long.
