just nine...

it has been almost nine years...

i can't remember your laugh
i used to have it in my head
i could recall it whenever i needed to
but now
now it's gone

i can't remember your voice
i used to have it in my head
i could recall it whenever i needed to
but now
now it's gone

i can't remember your touch
i used to have it in my head
i could recall it whenever i needed to
but now
now it's gone

i am losing you all over again
you are fading away...

just big papa...

so here's the latest on dad...

on thursday they went into his lungs and pulled out some of the 'gunk' so they could test it and see what they are up against... he's been in the icu as a precaution since then... it'll take probably about 72 hours to get the results back... that puts the results coming in on sunday and we don't really think that's gonna happen... so hopefully on monday they'll be able to be more accurate with how they treat him...

he's coughing up a lot of nastiness... he's on oxygen but get's winded very easily... sometimes it's even hard for him to talk... so we're kind of in a holding pattern until they get the test results back...

i'll continue to do my best to keep everybody updated... thanks for all the positive energy coming dad's way...

if you feel like sending a card or email for dad, here's my info

just superman...

sorry if i haven't personally contacted you about this, but here's what's going on...

after dad's chemo yesterday (tuesday) he collapsed in the parking lot of the cancer center... they called 911 and got him to the hospital... while in the er they had to put him on a ventilator... his heart had NOT stopped... he was STILL breathing... but it was to the dangerous point and they did what they had to do... they did an x-ray on his head (because they weren't sure if he had hit his head when he passed out) and found everything was ok... that hard breier head is good for something... they did a cat scan to check his lungs... he has pneumonia... they also checked to be sure that a blood clot hadn't gotten loose and gone to his lungs... there was no clot... he has been icu and on a ventilator since last night... spoke to the drs this morning and he is getting a cardiologist involved... there is some sort of enzyme that is elevated when there is a heart related event that was high this morning... it was ok last night but just a smidge high this morning... once we get all the pieces put together we can get him off this damn ventilator... he wakes up every once in a while (usually when a nurse is poking at him) and he kinda seems to get what is going on... although he's still pretty out of it... so that's what's up... asking for good thoughts, prayers (if ya got em) and hell - i'll take a snake handler with a couple of dead chickens if it'll help... i'll keep ya updated as often as i can...

and please, while sending all this positive energy dad's way, please divert some of that for my friend megan (and the entire ohnheiser) clan who lost her father this past saturday...

much love
