Spent the day at Crozier Burn Unit with my father. Talked with the doctor & I feel confident he is in good hands,but watching him struggle with restraints,wanting to get up & go out to his garden, just about broke my heart. He looked into my eyes & pleaded with me to take him home & thats not possible, he needs surgery to graft skin on his deep burns & I tried to explain to him where he is & why & that he needs to do as they say. He was combative when we got there yelling for my mom,so glad we could be there with him, and give him some comfort by our presence.My dad is a hard worker,always doing something,being in that bed is very hard on him.He is very active & always has been, laying still is just torture for him.My mom is so distraught, this is so hard on her & she has health issues & needs to take care if herself,I tried my best to pep talk both of them although my heart is aching. Hardest thing I ever had to do trying to keep from breaking down! The risk of infection is high with burns & his are extensive & deep,he needs our prayers desperately. We were told he has a 73% chance of getting through this!I came right out & asked the doctor,I have to know these things! I wish I could just stay right there & take care of my daddy but hes so far away ! Please keep the prayers coming, my parents need them more than anything,the Lord is the ultimate physician & healer. Thank you for all your support my dear friends, sorry if I havent thanked each of you individually,I feel like Im in a daze but got to keep my focus on The Lord, He will help my family can through this difficult time.
