Need some support and prayers

Hey everyone, On late Friday night/early Sat. morning my dad was rushed to the ER. It's been almost 2 days and we still don't know what's wrong. First they said it wasn't a heart attack, then they said it was, now they are saying it could be angina or blood clots, but they can't tell unless they do an angiogram which they can't do because a)my dad's kidneys are shutting down and b)he can't lay flat (he feels like he's suffocating---too much weight), and c)the special angiogram table only holds up to 350 lbs and my dad weighs more. When he stablizes we will probably have to transfer him to another hospital. Right now he's in the ICU and they told us it could be days before he's even stable enough to talk about options. I'm so sad. I keep crying, but not in front of him. My MIL has had my son for 2 days and my husband's parents drove 1/2way from Iowa to pick him up so he can go to work in the morning. I have no idea how long I'm going to be here, and I only brought 1 change of clothes and enough vitamins until tomorrow morning. I'm home from the hospital now just long enough to post this, set the VCR's for my dad, and let the dogs outside and then feed them. I'm an emotional eater and I'm struggling with this. Yesterday I ate a healthy lunch, but then had fajitas for dinner. This morning I ate 2 McMuffins with egg and cheese. I feel so guilty I haven't had anything since, but I'm getting really hungry and have to eat again sometime. My mom won't leave the hosptal and now that my husband left it's just me and 2 dogs in the house. I'm lonely and scared and sad. God please help my family through this. If you are the praying sort, please pray for my family. Otherwise please send good thoughts our way. I won't be able to post a lot, but I'll try to check in once a day. Thanks.... Sheryl

I know this is easier said then done, but, think positive! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

Sheryl~ I am so sorry you are going through this now. I will pray for your family, that you all may be comforted, that any discomfort your Dad may have is lifted, and that the Doctors may have some answers soon. I know how hard it is to stay "on track" during these difficult times, but just think how hard you've wrorked and how good it feels when you do stay on track. Do the best you can, that's all you can do!! Your Dad would want you to take care of yourself too! We're all here for you! Shelly

of course we'll ptey for you and your da. Hang in there I know it's tough, had a rough time when my dad took ill 5 years ago, hard to keep it all together, but we are women and mothers and thats what we do. Dont beat yourself up and keep checking in for support

Sheryl, I'm so sorry you're going through this with your Dad. I'm sending lots of good thoughts and hugs your way. Please don't turn to food for comfort and remember that you had this surgery to save your life. Remember that those added medical problems that come with excess weight are exactly the things you wanted to avoid when you had this surgery. Stay strong and determined to keep improving your health and to make the right choices so that your son won't ever have to feel the same anxiety for his Mom that you feel for your Dad. I hope that makes sense? HUGS, Vi Keep us posted.

May the lord bless you and your family through the ordeal. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Deb

You're in my thoughts and prayers! Continue to have faith and pray. Take care of yourself and try to keep your hands busy when you feel like eating. I know it's hard when you're an emotional eater. I'm here if you need me. Take care! Keke

I will pray for you and your family, I am sorry that you are going through this. Please keep us informed. LisaMarie
