I wanted to dedicate this post to my Dad. He is currently in the hospital recovering from Valve Replacement Surgery to his Heart, and is not recovering as quickly as expected. He has been in ICU for nearly a week now, when other patients would be on their way home by this time in their recovery process. Unfortunately Dad has developed several Pulmonary Embili, so has had to be put on blood thinners fearing additional clots traveling that could lodge in his heart. We are also hoping and praying that he doesn't begin to have internal bleeding, as both conditions could be fatal.
It's times like this that has you reflecting on the wonderful man that he is, and how empty our life would be without him. He truly has been a wonderful Father, that would do anything for his Family.
I would like to jump up in his bed and snuggle down with him like I used to as a child, I remember the sound of his heart beating when I would lay my head on his chest watching tv, with his big arm draped around me. But with so many machines he has hooked up to him, I can barely get near to kiss his forehead and hold his hand.
It seems like yesterday that he was dancing with me at my wedding, holding my hand through the pains of labor, and being one of the firsts to hold my babies. I know that Dad will pull through and will be ok, it's just so hard to see him like this. I love him so much, and I know that he loves us as well. When he was just coming out of anesthetic and barely able to speak, he was able to muster up the ability to tell us all he loved us.
He is one amazing Dad. Butterfly Kisses
