Update on my dad

He has been in the hospital since...To make a long story short, he has had kidney failure and on dialysis since November 20th. He had an appt onDec18th (yesterday) to have stints replaced in his liver. Medicare kicked him out of hospital onMonday December 15th....saying he wasn't sick enough to be in hospital, so he was sent to a rahabilitaion center. Ambulance took him back to Jefferson University Hospital Wednesday evening for the pre-scheduled surgery Thursday AM to replace the stints. They had extra prepatory due to he is on kidney diaysis. The Dr. called me last night to inform me that he is in the ICU. hIis blood pressure is extremely low. They are going to remove fluid from his belly today to make him more comfortable, and surgery will not happen until his pressure is stablized. TY all for the prayers. He desperately needs prayers... They are(still unsure) what is exactly wrong with him . Please Please Pray for my dad . I know he is in the best of hands down this hospital They really didn't know what they were doing here in my area. His pressure was low and they were still giving him high blood pressure medication??? He is 2.5 hours from me and I am probably going to see him tomorrow with weather permitting.GOD BLESS THankyou all my friends here at The Streak. I Miss You All Very :snwngl streakrockssss
