Life has been crazy here so this update is going to be pretty short, it's just to let you know what's going on over here. Sunday I spoke to my mom and she told me that my dad wasn't feeling very well and his leukemia is getting worse. Tuesday I receive a phone call from my sister telling me that my dad has been lifeflighted to Salt Lake because he felt like his brain was going to explode and they found two blood clots in his brain. Wednesday I call Red Cross to inform Jonathan of the situation and see if there is anyway he could come home. Thursday my dad had surgery to remove the blood clots and had a huge part of his skull removed so they could do brain surgery (he's now had surgery on all of his vial organs). Surgery went well, some swelling in his brain and he had slight slur of speech. Also found out that Red Cross didn't send enough information to Jonathan so they won't send him home. Friday, dad is doing ok from what my family says, but still in critial condition, spent most of the day on the phone with doctors and Red Cross to get a better message to Jonathan, my dad's oncologist sent a message saying my dad has less than a year to live, Jon's still not coming home. Also involved in a hit & run on my way to Wal-Mart, luckily nothing more than a cracked taillight and a scratch on the backside of my car. Dad was transfered to the VA hospital this evening. Saturday my dad's birthday - sister called and said my dad took a turn for the worse. Spent all day on the phone once again with doctors and Red Cross, the doctor we were talking to left for the day so we had to start over with a new doctor. He sent a message to Red Cross stating my dad has only a few days to live. 5 hours later still no word with jonathan if he's coming home. Sunday "happy father's day" (ya right) got word from jonathan at 2am that he's coming home, at least some good news in all this. So there's my crappy week all summed up.
