A bit of hope!
Filed Under Daily
I couldn’t write much since very alarming events occured in such a short time and they generated a long and painful wait. So here is the summary of the events:
28/10/2010: My dad was admitted to the hospital following his heart stroke around 4:30 pm. I only received a message from my brother around 10 pm saying my sister and my mother were at the hospital and my dad had an infartus. He would undergo surgery. My sister and my mother came home and confirmed the gravity of the event around midnight.
29/10/2010: My sister called his company and we were waiting for medical analysis. We thought the operation would take place anytime
30/10/2010: We all went to see my dad who was recuperating and the doctors were waiting for more medical analysis.
31/10/2010: Around 5 pm, I received news from my sister saying doctors have discovered another problem. My dad had a rupture of the aorta consequently to his infartus. He must undergo surgery as soon as possible. That will finally happen on Monday morning.
01/11/2010: The operation started at 9:45 am and ended around 15:45. We were told nothing unexpected happened and that we needed to wait for 48 hours before we could see him. He was admitted to an emergency room and was under intense care 48 hours.
From 01/10/2010 to 05/11/2010: He was in the coma and they tried to wake him up every day after 48 hours. He was unconscious and very agitated every time they tried so they kept him under artificial coma. They tried a new drug on Thursday. The situation was complicated because they wanted him back to reality and they wanted to take away the machines that helped him to breath.
05/11/2010: He finally woke up but he was extremely weak. He could not really follow directions with his eyes that were barely opened.
06/11/2010: We went to see him on Saturday and he was recuperating very well. He was fully awake and could move. The nurses said he was on a good path to recovery. He could not speak clearly when he tried.
07/11/2010: My sister is confident about his condition.
OMG Pierrot!! Je ne savais pas tout ca!!! Je prie pour que sa convalescence se deroule au mieux possible!
