This morning when Carter and I were here visiting Dad he was doing great - he only had his nasal canula set at 1litre, he had eaten a decent breakfast, chest tube and catheter were finally out, etc. but we were a little shocked when the doctor said be might be going home tomorrow - we had no idea it could be that soon, which had us worried about all of the logistics that go along with taking care of him at home.
I stopped by tonight around 6pm thinking I'd be here maybe 20 minutes and when I walked in, Dad had just called the nurse because he had been starting to struggle with his breathing, getting cold and clammy, heart rate rising. Within about 10 minutes the doctors had determined that his new lung had collapsed and had me leave the room do they could re-insert the chest tube and do a broncoscopy to see what's going on. Please pray for him .... again!
This blog is dedicated to the biggest Ute fan and the best guy in the world - Dwight Osborn. He was diagnosed in July 2009 with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a deadly lung disease with no known cure or treatment that kills as many people every year as Breast Cancer. He was put on the transplant list at the U (go Utes!) on November 29, 2011. We received the call on Friday, December 23rd around 7pm and Dad received the greatest gift ever on Christmas Eve. It really is a wonderful life!
