Today has been a crazy day
for us. It was my second beta test and the number came back at 1309! This is
why I wanted to double check what the first number was because if it was only
95 then it jumped 13x the amount, not just doubled. But if she said 695 then it
would be right on track for doubling.
The crazy part of the day
and the thing we were most worried about was Eric’s Dad’s triple bypass heart
surgery. His surgery was scheduled at 2:00pm. They started about 2:30 and
didn’t finish until after 9:00pm. We learned that his heart was much worse than
they originally thought. They got him opened and realized his heart is pumping
at about 10% and they were only able to do one bypass and not the other two. As
most people know surgeons aren’t the best at bedside manner, they usually tell
it how it is. The Surgeon kept saying if he wakes up… so that all had us
extremely nervous. Eric was at the hospital all day with his dad. I think he
got home about 1:00am. I hadn’t been sleeping well so I heard him come in. He
didn’t say anything, just gave me a kiss and held my hand as he laid down to
sleep. This made me cry and pray. I prayed every chance I could and every
moment I woke up. I needed him to make it through the night. I was also trying
to remain calm as I know I shouldn’t be under a lot of stress. I do have
another life to watch out for now.
Update: I’m happy to report he is
still with us and doing much better. He still has a long road ahead of him because
they were not able to completely fix the issues going on the first time. So
it’s a matter of recovering from this surgery and then seeing what’s next.
