Dad is out of surgery and settled into SICU. The surgeon said it went well. There were a few small blood vessels inside the trach that were bleeding. (Which is why the bleeding wouldn't stop by applying pressure) He stitched them up and cleaned him up. He said that none of the blood went into his lungs. We were able to visit with him and he answered "yes and no" questions for Tim with his jaw.
His blood pressure is low so they are inserting an A-line to monitor his pressures and oxygen levels.
Mom and Becky are staying the night.
Oh, and remember how one of our goals yesterday was to have Dad's good ear looked at because he was complaining that it felt clogged? This ENT was the Dr he told us to call. We were even able to show Dr Manders his name in the book where we write down letters as Dad motions with his jaw. Mom had left a message with his office. He said he will look at his ear tomorrow when he visits.
A big thank you to our friend, Susan Miller RN, for the comfort in the ER and for checking on us while we were in the waiting room. We appreciate your kindness.
Thanking God again! Especially for the "surprisingly's"! Kaitlyn is working at Panera this morning so stop by or call her if you need something yummy. :) sending our love to the Parsley family and praising God for continuing to answer prayers.
