Swamphunter Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hey guys (and gals), I haven't been around much as my father is back in the critical care unit at Fletcher Allen Medical Center. He was transported by Helicopter to Burlington Vermont for emergency surgery that removed his entire large intestine and part of his small. He is now with a colostomy bag (which can be reconnected in 6 months to a year- according to the surgeon which will rid him of the bag). He is still in a drug induced coma and they are praying he does not get an infection. He ran a very slight fever yesterday, but they said that it may have just been from the surgery, not from infection. We came home last night, 3 hour drive, (after two nights of sleeping on a concrete floor) as we needed more clothes, money and medicines for my mother. As I type this I am getting ready to head out the door to go back. He is now a patient in the Critical Care - Surgery Unit (Baird unit) and will be for quite some time. That is why I have not been around. They have a computer in the waiting room with internet access, but it has a Cyberpatrol program on it and it will not let me access this site because it pops up "access denied - WEAPONS"!! The progem was probably designed by some PETA freak or something...j/k. Anyhow, take care guys and hopeully I'll be back with-in the week. Say a prayer please.
