broken, huh?

When we took my father to the emergency two weeks ago, they had to do an MRI. When my father got back from the radiology room he started to cry and said, "they broke my arm... Oh My, they broke my arm!!!" Ever since he has been complaining about his arm hurting so much. Doctors kept saying that it is the disease and perhaps the positioning he was on while getting the MRI....

They have to turn him in bed so his skin can breath and his wounds heal. not too mention he needs to get cleaned.... turn here, turn there.... screams of pain... more painkillers... more crying, more pain...gggrrrr,... frustration...

Infections later, he had to be transferred to the ICU, as I spoke about in my last blog. We had asked many times if the doctors could do something about his arms, if perhaps it was broken? Finally last night an angel nurse said," this pain in the arm doesn't sound right, I am going to order an X-say of his arm"... What did they see?
A broken arm!!! Thanks Docs for neglecting my fathers pain and his word expressing a broken arm.
Can you imagine the pain? The pain of having a broken arm and people touching it and turn your whole body against it for almost two weeks? Unforgivable in my opinion...

A specialist came in and said that surgery would be too risky for him, and that his arm should heal with time. They cannot cast it because it is near the shoulder.... so they are trying to keep his arm stable, so that his bones can heal!

Aside from all this... dad sat on a recliner today. he suffered from pain as always, and he had to get a blood transfusion. He is off of the blood pressure meds and his blood pressure has been stable all day long! Good sign, hopefully he is fighting the infections well. (He's got two: staff infection, and e-coli).

The priest came to anoint him today and we had the entire family gathered around him, and we all called him OUR HERO... as he cried he look at my mom and said... No, She is MY HERO!!! Unforgettable moment and words!

My grandparents from mom's side got in town from Brazil today- so happy they are here!!
