My sister got home from the hospital about 11 last night. Dad is in critical care but seemed to be doing better. They had to do an emergency colonoscopy to see where all the blood was coming from, they also did an upper GI to make sure that the source of the blood wasnt in his stomach or small intestine. I guess he gave them a bit of trouble about the tubes down his throat so they has to wait until he was asleep.
The procedure was over about 10 and the dr is fairly sure they found the place that was bleeding. Apparently dad started taking his aspirin and blood thinners too soon after the last procedure which is what started the whole thing. The dr had told him fifteen days and dad barely waited a week. That's my dad. If his hemoglobin hadnt gone back up by this morning then they were going to have to go back in but I'm just having faith that all will be fine. They gave him two units of blood last night. He will be in the hospital at least until tomorrow. I'll be going up this afternoon to visit him.
On to other things. I had a rude awakening this morning. My lovely neices turned into wild cats and were having WWIII over the bathroom. The fifteen year old was just being plain...B****y to her sister. Guess that is just one of the joys of being a teenager. It just made her madder when her mom and I said something about we had always shared a bathroom with no problem. We old folk just love to rub those kind of things in, anyway it ended with her storming out of the house. She is very much a drama queen. All that fuss over their hair and its raining buckets outside, they probably didnt even make it to the bus without their hair being a wet mess.
Guess I better go get myself ready for the day.
