top of the morning, friends....
thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers for my dad. he is entering his 22nd day of his stay at the hospital. considering he underwent 2 major surgeries in 5 days, he is doing remarkably well physically. he is, however, struggling a bit mentally. he is terrified that something else will go wrong. his vitals are improving and various tubes are coming out almost daily. they have moved him to a step down unit--but still in ICU. he is so afraid of eating again, as that's when the last problem occurred. the dr's are taking it very slow, continuing to feed him via stomach tube. while he is still on mega doses of antibiotics, he continues to improve daily. he is very anxious to get home to his wife and his beloved dog, tiki.
i am sorry i haven't updated this earlier, but we wanted to make sure he was out of the woods. he appears to have "turned the corner" now and we're very optimistic for a full recovery.
on another positive note...5 more weeks to complete the MBA....then onto the next career search!
the picture above is the new 2009 harley "triglide." although i love the trike i'm riding....a girl can dream, can't she?

Wow, sure is a pretty bike, would be well deserved after you complete MBA??????
Glad to hear your dad is on the road to recovery!
Love ya, Wendy
Now, that bike is more my speed. I think I could handle that. Lisa, so glad to know dad is doing better. Take care.
Lisa,
I'm glad to hear your father is improving. It is understandable that he is afraid to begin eating again. My cousin went through some pretty rough stuff as a result of eating following surgery for a blockage, only to have it become blocked again and having to go right back in for a second surgery.
She is doing much better now and is back at work. She still tires easily, but God is good.
Your dad will continue to rebuild his strength. I'm sure he is as much a fighter as you are and will be back in the pink soon.
God bless you and all your family.
Cindy
If Jim will buy me one of these for Christmas, I will start riding with you! :)
It has been great getting to see you again after all of these years. Go Mohawks!
Wow, such good news about your Dad, girl!
Of course he is a great fighter, which he obviously passed on to his daughter!!!!!
That is definitely a pretty bike; and someone finishing their MBA definitely deserves a treat, I would think!!! Don't you?
Gosh, we need to get your Dad out of their and BOTH of you in the pink and healthy at the same time so you both can enjoy some fun time!!!! As I said before, how interesting that he was there to take care of you; then you were there to take care of him. Hmmm... sounds like some sort of "Master" plan! :) Glad you are both doing so well! That certainly makes a whole lot of folks very happy, myself included!!!
