So here's the deal. My father got the blood clot and had a large part of bowels died off. Will he live? Who knows. The doctor told us today that he only gave my father 24 to 48 hours. Then his organs will start shutting down one by one. Since he's had problems with his kidneys before, those are expected to go first. We've been paying a lot of attention to his urine output.
He's slept all day. He's barely been conscious at all. Most of our time in the room is spent reading. I've been putting it on ESPN. If he wakes up, at least he'll have something to watch.
Here's the kicker. The doctors are shocked at him. They have decided to have a meeting. Since my father has done so well. The doctors had a meeting on whether to go in for a second surgery. Without it, he won't survive. With it, he may still not survive. The doctors were supposed to get back with us about their decision. Of course, it's past midnight now and we have not heard anything.
That last fact does not sit well with me.
