Long but worth Reading
My great uncle had a small cut in one of his
arteries on Thursday, and was rushed to the hospital. The
hospital told him that if he hadn't come to the hospital
then he would have died within an hour. My family was so
thankful, and all of the doctors told us that he would be able
to come out of intense care in a week or two and go home, but
have a hospital bed in his bedroom. We all were all so excited,
but on Saturday morning they realized that his kidneys were
filled with fluid, which is normal for patients who had just
undergone the 6 hour surgery. They told us not to worry, and
that it would just be a few more days. Later in the day
his legs still hadn't regained full strength even though
they had a pulse. The doctors told us they had become very
swollen and part of the tissue was dead. They then had to cut
incisions into his legs to let out the blood. They also told us
this would get better and with therapy he would be 100%. They
lied. Today after 5 days of care after being on the path of
everything getting better, everything stopped getting any
better. Nothing got worse, but now the doctors are starting to
question if he will live through this.
Please. Please. Just pray for my great uncle John. He is one of
the sweetest people I know. He has pushed through being blind
in one eye, but this challenge he might not pull through. Thank
you witty.
