Thank you mami. Thank you guys. I am not ignoring emails.(sorry peeps)
My Papi, is going thru some stuff now. Funny how a pain in his stomach, has turned out to going from Dr to Dr in 2 days.
A procedure needs to be done on him tomorrow at the hospital, and last night his EKG came back abnormal. I took him to my office and did it myself, so I gave it to my Dr and he said no Lis it is abnormal and needs cardiac clearance. Oh Ok another Dr?
You got it.
I just go into nurse mode. Last night, I felt "the shift" as my friend baseball annie says.
I was the adult and my papi became the child.
I have a list of things to get done for him for doctors. No problem I will do it. I will not complain. How can I? My papi. My hero. If anyone as been blessed with a father as amazing as mine, well you have been touched by an angel.
He is my hero, my best friend. He is that man that I thought my X would be like. WHOA was I wrong.
He is not perfect, ruff around the edges, my kids know a spanish curse or 2 and it because of him, and I would not have it any other way.
So I am not ignoring the calls or emails, I am just trying to focus on getting all this stuff done. Love you guys
and thank you

I'm sorry to hear this. I will keep him and your family in my prayers. He's lucky also in that he has a daughter who can take such great care of him.
Hey Auntie Beth could teach the kids more than a swear or 2 in english then they would be multi-lingual in that dept.. Hey you never know when it might come in handy!
God bless you both, and know we are thinking of you. When he is fully recovered, maybe I can send you a Cranky dad to keep a few days. Just finished another round of eye surgery after 80th bday. Acting down and blue, needing TLC, and I don't look good in nurse's clothes.
Well My dad was found to have stones in the gallbladder.
An Abdominal ultrasound showed he has many cysts. Blood test showed his Liver functions studies were elevated.
After going to the Gastro Dr. They told him that he needed to have an ERCP done. Which is a procedure where they go down your throat with a camera, sort of like an Endoscopy a little more involved.
They wanted to see if he has stoned in the liver.
My papi has been so nervous, so his blood pressure went up
after his EKG came back abnormal we went to the cardiologist to clear him for the ERCP .
At the cardiologist the EKG was still abnormal but he cleared him for the procedure today anyway.
OK get to the hospital, during the procedure my papi's breathing became labored while under anesthesia.
So they could not remove the stones from the liver, but place in a stent.
Ok So surgery to remove the gallbladder is supposed to be for Monday.
Ok
so wakes up from anesthesia
tells me he has to go to the bathroom after about half hour.
was a bit dizzy
calls me into the bathroom calls my name and he proceeds to pass out into my arms, I held him enough to guide him down, he looks at me and then I call for the nurse. Then i see his mouth turn to the side, I said hurry I think he is having a stroke.
The nurses come, and the doctors.
Get him back on the bed and back on the IV
I am looking at him and say smile for me, grab my fingers. He did.
The doctors just think his blood pressure went way down, and when that happens it can mimic signs of a stroke
So got him on the bed and waiting to be admitted.
I go to the bathroom, cry for 2 minutes.
run out and back into the room and get paperwork started and done.
He gets admitted, and fed, and seems had blood work and cat scan to be sure.
Find out the results tomorrow.
The lady that registered him, her name was Althea (sigh)
All the nurses called him papi. (sigh)
I just came home from being at the hospital since this morning.
He is a nervous wreck. He kept saying to me I am 80 years old , I am 80 years old.
My dad is in great shape health wise. He does not look 80. He has no medical problems thank God.
So basically just taking it one day at at time.
Thank you for letting me vent this. I have not slept in 3 days, I am sort of just running on adrenaline.
Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes.
Love you
