Welcome to Ricky's Blogger site! We will provide all his family and friends with health updates while my father is in the hospital. We saw my dad this morning while he was sleeping. We are about to meet with one of his doctors. We have heard that dad will have a surgery this afternoon, which as you know is very scary as my father is in very delicate condition. This surgery will be to implant a heart pump. His heart is extremely weak so he needs some extra help immediately. Any type of surgery or procedure is very hard on my dad. Please continue to pray and think powerful thoughts for him. He is really fighting right now. All other aspects have shown some improvement over last night so we know he is working very hard. His kidneys have been working and he has good color. The nurse said he woke up this morning and followed her directions to move his arm and legs. That was really great news.
Once I hear more, I will post immediately.
Thank you for all your love and support. Please feel free to leave comments so I can show them to my dad when he is feeling better. He will enjoy any humor that you have to offer :)
Godbless,
Katie

Rick will sure be in our thoughts and prayers, Katie!
ReplyDeleteHis love of gadgets is legendary (just look at all the bling, horns and other crap adorning his bike), so I'm sure he'll enjoy his new heart pump...
Hugs all around,
Doc
