hey fella's.....

IF i am off the site for a few days over the next 2 weeks dont panic. when i got home from the ironman gncc i found out my dad was rushed to the hospital and isnt doing very well.

i have hope but it isnt looking good at this point. I just wanted to let those that have sales/purchases etc ongoing with me that i will still be here but if the worst does happen i might be distracted for a few days.


if anyone needs to reach me for an emergency just contact me thru harlen.

thanks guys.

we have been thru this before, but this time i think he wants it to end. the doctor called this morning and said he became combative last night and removed his chest tube and told them to just shot him full of morphine so he could go out in peace. he hates living like this.

i just wanted to let everyone know what the scoop was incase i aint on here like i usually am.

thanks everyone.

i went to see him last night and i blew my cork. his IV tubes were undone, his arms were bleeding from it and they were all tangled around his side cart. the container that held the material from his chest tube was still beside his bed. thats 16 hours of that crap sitting there. when i left a few nurses knew it better not be that way when i get there tonight.


his condition is still the same. he is all doped up on morphine and didnt hardly respond to anything. his heart rate is steady at 140 beats a minute which is double what it should be:( they have been trying for 4 days to get his heart to slow down but nothing is workin:ermm:

MY450R
10-27-2004, 01:11 PM
oh man thats awful i cant stand hospitals or nursing home that are like that!!
i wonder why even with morphine his heart is still racing? is there nothing else they can do?
i will ask but im pretty sure i know the answer.will he make it pappy? i really hope so but the old saying is that once they give morphine... stay strong and dont lose faith he needs ya now more than ever
sorry

4am we got a call to come to the hospital. he had a bout with high heart rate, hard breathing etc.

i raised hell with the doctor and said i wanted him transfered to a better cardiac facility. that was the plan.

10 minutes after i left him to head to work they called and said he was rushed back into ICU and a chest tube, a main line into the heart and some more stuff had to be done. they wont transport him anywhere because he is too unstable:(

:(

at 8 am i got a call from my bother that they rushed my dad into critical care. the doctor came out and told him to get all the living will papperwork and stuff together that he (my dad) was going down fast.

so i rush to the hospital to find 2 doctors and my bro talking. they placed my dad on life support and is only being kept alive by a respirator. apparently the nurses discussed this with my father in the critical care unit immediatley after they rushed him in there and he agreed to it. (i geuss thats a good sign that he has fight left in him?)

the doctor said its a 25% chance he will pull through this. i geuss thats better then zero.

i dont really know what to do at this point. im torn between wanting him out of pain and suffering and wanting him all better.

there is alot of feeling i have now, some good some bad i geuss. i am real conflicted about the decisions the doctors made, even the one my father made. i just dont understand it all right now.

None of this is easy Kenny. I have been the legal decision maker for several close relatives because they knew I would do the right thing at the right time.
I am a very controlling person, yet I had to realize there are some things we have no control over, and that I had to trust in the order of the universe, that it knew how to keep everything in balance.
Its hard man, I have been thinking of you and your family and wish you strength. Feel free to PM me if you want. Howard.

Upon my dad searching for a package that was sent to Kenny, Kenny did in fact receive the package. Hey man, some guy named Melandor received the swing arm. It arrived there 10:22 10/22/04. Anyways, my dad called me in school about this right in the middle of class. He also said that Melandor said that your dad passed away. I feel bad for you man putting you in the situation with my parts and your father. Your father comes first before my parts and i just hope you can make it through everything. Remember, alot of us on exriders are here for ya man. I know this is mean to ask, but did he pass away now? Hang in there man, let me know if you need anything.

Family and friends will help comfort the pain when things do happen . Just know we're all here praying for him and for your family . But I understand what you're going through ... and the pain of seeing a loved one suffer . You want the pain to end for them , but you also don't want to say goodbye . Just keep your faith ...

And remember ... it's never really a Goodbye .... it's more of a See You Later , cuz a loved one will be watching over you from above when they pass on , and one day you'll be reunited with them .

Those were the words I was left with when my grandfather passed away and the words my father has told me in case he cannot tell me them when his day comes .

CTmxyfz .....when i went next door to inform my neighboring shop i had an emergency the owner gave me your swing arm. he had it in his office to keep it safe and when we asked the shop personel they had no idea of any package being shipped in. i apologize for any inconvience this may have caused you with stress related to a swing arm.

10-30-2004, 09:06 PM
there isnt really anything new to report. the doc said his kidneys have stabilized, his heart is down slightly, blood pressure is good. he has developed an infection in his lungs that they are fighting with antibiotics. he is still being kept alive by the respirator tho:(

i still have hope. if my pop told them it was ok to be on the respirator we will do everything possible to pull him out of this. he is still touch and go and all we have been able to do is pray and hang tuff.

im going postal on this one b!tch at the security entrance. im telling you what, she came within a heartbeat of me kicking in the door and ripping her head off. some people do not need a job dealing with people period and she is one of them. its a damn shame, your at the hospital, your dad is hanging on by a thread and some fat *** no count loser wants to read you the riot act everytime you have to reenter the friggon hospital. on the way out tonight i knocked on her window and when she got up to take my entry badge i threw the mofo down the hall and told her to go after it her chair needed a break from her fat ***:mad: she wouldnt come out till after i cleared the outer door:grr: the first night i thought it was just me because i was stressed but 3 nights of this crap is enough. i hope she ends up in my dads position, ill be right by her side with wire cutters in hand

Ill never forget when we had to make some tough decisions on pulling the plug on my 4 year old Son. That was the hardest thing in life I will EVER do.. The Staf at the hospital was FAR from being properly trained,There were tubes in his body that was draining all over the floor and thye had no idea what they went to:huh .... One machine to help keep his heart going NOONE had a friggin clue how to use!!!:mad: They had to call another hospital to get "step by step instructions" on how to use it ... I feel in some ways they cost my Son his life and had he been is better hands MAYBE things may have been different.. But that was a long time ago and I have finally got over that hump in my life it used to haunt me for a long time , all the "what ifs" Nurses and Docs can also be VERY insensitive. I know they see this all the time and they get calused over time with peeps dyin everyday but DAYUM! not everyone feels that way and this is our family members were dealin with... I remmber this one Beetich requested me out of the room when they wre workin on my son and I wanted to be by his side until the very end. I told that women if she thought she was big enough to move me.......... GO FOR IT.......:macho All I can say is Im just glad I was there until the very end .
Pappy, Sounds like your Pappa is strong, I hope he finds a way to pull threw this and give those Aholes at the hospital He!! :p ;)

Quad18star
10-30-2004, 09:42 PM
Well I think we're all glad to hear that he's doing a bit better Pappy .

I also agree with you , on how some nurses and doctors just don't seem qualified to do their jobs sometimes . Quadjunkies .... your story is very sadening .... and I can't imagine them trying to kick you out while your son was in the state that he was . But just to let you know , it happens all over the world . When I had a bad accident at the age of 17 , they gave me less than an hour to live ... they rushed me to the hospital , but they would not let my parents see me before I went into surgery ... it was so hard for them , and so hard for me because of how much I care for them . Even after surgery , they would not allow my parents to see me in ICU ... but after many threats by my father , they let them in to see me about 6 hours later . I don't remember it at all .... I spent over a month in ICU and the first 2 weeks are a blur .

Fast forward to March of this year . I went in for more surgery , and when I came out of surgery , they hooked me up to the morphine pump . Well whatever brain dead doctor they had running this machine , obviously didn't know how to calculate numbers correctly , and they almost overdosed me . Actually they did overdose me ... I was down to 3-4 breaths per minute .... as compared to a normal persons breathing habits of 16-20 . It makes you wonder sometimes if these people actually went to school for their degree , or if they put 25cents into a gumball machine and get their certificates .

Pappy .... makes sure you don't let them rent-a-cop security guards hold you up any longer than need be .

Pappy,
My heart goes out to you man. My computer has been screwed up for more than a week so I didn't even see this. As you know I went through losing my father this year and I know how hard it is and I know what you're going through. What's going to happen is what's going to happen but hang in there and keep praying. PM me anytime if ya need to talk.

Pappy
10-31-2004, 07:28 PM
thanks QF


no changes today. his color was better, some of the swelling in his abdomen seemed to be gone. his kidneys are still ok but a specialist is coming tomarrow. the doc said he cut back his oxygen content and slowed the respirator to see how he would respond. (between me and ya'll my gut tells me they are probing for an answer on when :( )

i would like to thank you guys again for the moral support....it does help. ive been trying to keep busy to keep my mind of it. my lil bro took cody riding today. i just wasnt in the right frame of mind to go but i hear cody was hitting a double on his quad:p

we will hang in there. there are alot worse folks out there then me but you all's kind words give me a bit of peace. thanks again.

11-02-2004, 07:59 PM
still no improvements to speak of. i did get some time alone with him tonight and i actually talked to him. he never moved or made out that he could hear it but i said part of what i had to say.

his kidney output was better but nothing to get excited about. his heart rate finally stayed below 100 for 2 days straight and all his vitals are ok. he still cant breathe on his own:(

its getting tuff, im not numb yet but more weary i geuss. the doc was upbeat tonight but it wasnt because of any changes. maybe he see's the grief i dunno.

ive seen family that i havent seen in over 20 years this week. damn they have all gotton fat:p his younger brother has been there every night. he just had his knee completely removed and is wheel chair bound but refuses to stay home. its good to see that.

i still dont know where this all will lead. i do know it has my head swimming. ive tried to ignore things and keep my thoughts elsewhere but it doesnt really help. maybe running my gums via the keyboard will help...cant hurt.

the only cool thing was i met a feller in ICU that was shot in the head last night. he is ok...big *** hole in his nugget but ok. first person i ever seen headshot and lived:p

It's good to hear that your pop's is making a bit of progress . But it's amazing how having those that love you and that you love around you can really help a recovery .

My mom's uncle had a severe stroke a few months back , and they didn't think that he would ever make it . He also was living off machines , but miraculously enough he's made a HUGE improvement . He can actually feed himself now , he can walk , no machines to keep him breathing either . He doesn't have his speech , but he can still communicate using other methods

Maybe this might be able to shed a little more light on hard times . We're all praying along with you and your family , that he pulls through .



The dude had a gun shot wound to the head??? He's one strong fella !!!!

pappy, i can't even imagine what you are going through at this point, but the only advise i can give is to stay strong and remember all the great times you and your father have shared and just hold onto him for as long as possible..... trust me man, the prayers for you and your family have been going on for a couple days,so i hope everything pulls through and there will be many more memories to share..... if he is as hard working as you seem to be, then i am sure he can hang on!!!!! wish you the best Pappy!!!!~ Jason

well we have been called in tomarrow morning for a family meeting with all 3 doctors. i have a feeling it will be even more negative news. the doc said his kidneys werent responding and his liver count is rising. a kidney specialist was brought in but did nothing. my take on it is that if he thought he could do something to help he would have.


i used to pray to god when i was little that i would die before my dad so i wouldnt have to see him die. 30 some years later i still feel that way. he wasnt a text book dad but he is my dad. i sure hope and pray but he just has so much working against him. i geuss time will tell.

Very sorry, Kenny. Nothing I can say, sitation like this is so hard on everyone... :(

Pappy
11-05-2004, 09:37 AM
well i have nothing but GOOD news to report:eek:

the 3 docs and a handful of nurses sat us down and we felt they would relay more bad news. but instead they said that my dads kidneys put out 17 liters of fluid:eek: last night and his kidneys are actually working. all other vitals are stable and they started cutting back his sadation and even cut back the respirator!! they will continue to breathe for him but now every 4 hours he will have to breathe on his own under supervision to start stregthening his lungs.

he isnt out of the woods, but they did say his odds were now more like 50/50 so man thats a huge step!

he looks 100% better then he has and with the fluid being drained he looks like he lost about 50 pounds. he wouldnt squeeze my hand or respond but me and my brother both saw him stick his tongue out at me when i was commenting about fat nurses and sponge baths:eek: :devil:

i know he could still die, but for an unexplained reason i can accept that now.

again, thanks for the encouragement and support you guys have offered. it means alot to me.

my prayers are with ur pops, i know how it is, my dad died october 23rd due to massive cardiac arrest after i got home from from work, he took himself to the hospital earlier that day and he left on his own because he didnt wanna sleep there, 5 minutes after i got home is when it happened, its hard watching them go infront of you and knowing that as hard as try to keep them alive its not going to work, i gave him CPR and mouth to mouth and he would get a pulse then go back into cardiac arrest over and over again every time i did it, i just believe theres a time everyone, it can be delayed ( he had a heart attack christmas eve 1999) but it cant be delayed forever, the best way to deal with it is with the support of friends:(

sorry about rambling like that but there arent many ways to vent.

once again god bless and he will be in my prayers untill he is better:(

Pappy

well, last night he turned for the worse. blood pressure dropped severly, heart rate way up, liver enzymes back up and they cant control his fever. its not looking good again and they have him back in grave condition:(

Your Brother is right in a way. He wants his dad to stop suffering either by death or by healing. Preferably the later but if there's no chance of him getting better then there's no sense in him suffering too long. Makes sense to me. Still praying for him buddy!

Pappy

the fight is over. my dad past away tonight after we and the doctors came to the conclusion the medical hope was gone. he lasted 2 minutes after they turned off all life support.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your father is in a better place now and I'm sure you are glad he is not suffering any longer. I know no words can make you feel any better but if there's anything I can do let me know. God bless you all.

I am very sorry to hear about this... after reading this thread, it sounds like he is in a much better place right now and at peace. If there is ANYTHING I can do, let me know. :( :( :(

Also I think Popo said it best... Your family now has a guardian angle...

Wow, he was a Marine? Well God held him alive long enough to celebrate the 229th birthday. Semper Fi, and your still in my prayers.

11-13-2004, 05:52 AM
yes, my father is a highly decorated U.S. Marine. He served in Vietnam from 64~68 and then did 2 years training scout snipers in the states.

I say he "is" simply because the Marine Corps lives on and that means he lives on.
