Asking for some prayers
Hey guys-
Normally I post fun, quirky threads, but I now want to ask for all for prays for my father. Long story short, from December 2006 - February 2007 he had two open heart surgeries, the first to repair a would-be-fatal areortic disection (Google it), and the second to fix blocking from the triple bypass he also had that was blocked with 90% scar tissue.
A week ago he had hernia surgery (lovely, right?) and that now has an infection. Saturday night his blood pressure was low and he was acting very out of it, which is weird. Yesterdya, Sunday, my mom called 911 for him (non-emergency) and he was admitted. His blood pressure is still low, but he's in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to be closely watched. He also is still a bit out of it, calling a nurse a bitch (something my dad would NEVER do otherwise) and seeing things... But he knew who my mom was, "My wife" and knows that tomorrow the 2nd is their 30th wedding anniversary. Doctors checked him for a stroke, as that can be the cause of being dilrious, but nothing so thank God. Oh, and he keeps threatening to pull out his IVs, so he's been restrained and has a night nurse, or as my mom and I are saying, a babysitter. (Keep in mind my dad is 6' even and still strong)
I'm still shaken up though. I broke down crying in a private coaching for my scene with my partner and acting professor... She was giving me notes on my character, "She's remembering seeing her father in the hospital", forgetting what I had told her about what I was going through. Luckily, she said if I need this week to just stay home and collect myself mentally, she won't count my abcenses against me as it's a family emergency... And she would be more than happy to see our scene another time one-on-one. I love teachers like that who are so understanding.
So. Yeah. I just really need good thoughts, positive energy, and prayers. I accidentally send myself to a place in my mind I CAN'T go to, so I need some help. Honestly I don't have anyone in my real life to turn to and I know that, as a community, as a theatre community, we stick together and help one another.
xoxo

Kasee I'm going to pray for you, but also post a prayer on hear for you:
Lord, please bless Kasee and her family as they go through this difficult time. Let them grow closer as a family as their father, husband, and friend goes through this pain. Give them the strength to know that they can deal with this for you are by their side. Please save Kasee's father from this pain, and let him hurt no longer. And no matter what happens Lord, let Kasee and her family know that you love them for they are your children. We ask this in your son Jesus Christ's name,

Kasee, I'm praying for your whole family right now. Obviously, things like this are never easy, but with the support of his loved ones, I know your father will recuperate. My Grandpa whom I'm very close to just went through a similar problem, so I know how you must feel (kind of. I don't think one can ever really feel like someone else). He's in my prayers, and good luck :)

Update- My father is a stubborn man, omigod. He was slightly sedated just to calm him down so he could rest and not move to take a lot of work off from his heart, right? Well today when I was down there with my mom, his nurse had to put a feeding tube down his throat and the man kept pushing it out with his tounge or trying to bite at her (without his dentures, mind you)... Man, it was kinda hysterical. My mom kept calling to him from across the room, "Honey. Babe. Knock it off. Let them do what they need to." I truly am my father's daughter... Being defiant no matter what!
Aside from that, things look good. His color is back (apparently yesterday was a bad day for him... pale skin, hoses in and out of him, growling nasty and mean things to nurses and my mom... yikes.) and he has the meds he needs for his kidneys and heart and whatnot. I forwarned my teacher on Thursday I'd be gone again... My mom needs me to be with her. And she looks like she's aged a lot over these past few years with everything... =(
Thank you so much for the good thoughts and prayers, guys. <3
