Alan, I just got back on here after being out of town for several days. I am so glad your dad pulled through the surgery, and I will be praying for his recovery and for strength and comfort for you and your family. Hang in there my friend, God is with you!

WOW I'm glad to hear he is still with us.  Many angels sent from me.   

[cudadave72]

I very glad to here he pulled through. We'll continue to send prayers!

Great news Alan. 

Please give him a very gentle hug from all of us once you feel he is up to it?

Heck, while you are at it, give your brother a sonic wedgie from all of us too.

Thanks again guys. Recovery of course is slow but moving ahead.  I may have to stay over in the hospital a few days after tonight. Were hoping to get him out of intensive care tomorrow maybe. He has a few problems right now tho. Everything he sees is swapped left and right.  If you have your fork on the left side of your plate, he sees it on the right. I mean everything. The room door, even his own body parts.  Like he is looking in a mirror. I am going to try and stand him up tomorrow.  They are fairly sure he may not have brain damage. His brain pushed out of his head when they removed a piece of his skull.  I freakin hate only getting to see him 30 min every 4 hrs. He can't hear, so I turn on the tv so he can identify commercials and shows, and call out what he sees and who/what they are.  My biggest fear is if I have surgery my self next week, I can't take care of him. I may have to just grit my teeth a bit more. Im younger and stronger.  I have to be at his side.   Both my brothers are leaving town tomorrow   one is retired from what I call a sissy disability for a free check and the other doesnt really have to be back home untill sun. night.   I just cant be cold. I would not leave anyone alone or defensless. Family or strangers.  I always try to touch a heart, not hurt it.

Thinking about you and your dad and praying everything works out. Recoveries like these are long so you hang in there and take care of yourself too. Hope everything works out for you and your dad. He sounds like he is a pretty tough man. Good luck.

Alan,

I'm just now reading this, but sooo glad everything is as good as could be expected at this point.  My sister has dealt with a brain tumor for a while now, and although they preferred not to remove hers, its under control with radiation therapy and anti-seizure meds.  You're obviously a good son who loves his father.  You both are in our prayers as well.

Hi Al . I've been following your post . I haven't said much because I'm not good with things like this . I'm glad your dad is doing good and no matter what happens your dad is lucky in one way . He has a son who loves him very much and that is lucky .

[shadango]

Hang in there Al....with all the good juju around here things will be fine. God bless your Dad...he sounds like a fighter!   

You are being a great son......just dont go so far as to neglect yourself if you need that surgery.

Your Dad sounds like he is in good hands, and you wont be able to help him if you are in pain or sick yourself.  Just dont wait too long.

As far as family leaving....its tough when family members live far away....My old man missed his own mothers funeral because he was ill and couldnt travel....probably broke his heart.   Your brothers probably have lives back home and they dont mean to be cold....it is probably hurting them more than you know.....but its tough being the only family aroundwhen another family member needs help or support....a lot of pressure, it is.

Just do your best....sounds like you are!

Glad to hear the positive update, now is the time to pray harder, don't neglect yourself and in your quiet times let it out or your operation will not go as well if you keep it bottled up.   
 This family, CC.com are 100% behind you.
