So my blog from last week let everyone know that some incredibly crazy things went down the last couple of weeks and that it has been really rough for Bree and I. . . . . Well there is more.
I got the urge last Friday to give my dad a call and and just see how he was doing (it was a God thing). So I call him and we talk for a little while and then I find out that my grandmother is waiting to hear back on some tests she had done. She had been so sick this past week my dad went to stay with her, to make sure that she was okay. Her blood pressure dropped so low the doctors were surprised that she was not in a comma (60 over 38). So all of this happens and she is still waiting for her test results that will let her know if she has Lymphoma or not. The doctors were leaning to her actually having lymphoma before the tests were taken.
Now here is the really sick part. Her doctor decided to take a vacation this week and refuses to let her or anyone else see her test results. So this doctor is making my very sick grandmother (again 60 over 38 blood pressure, so sick that someone needs to go stay with her) wait and worry about the results of her lymphoma tests so he can go off and relax. He won't let any other doctor know so she can have the results. He won't tell her daughter (even though my grandma says that it would be perfectly acceptable to do so), so that she can tell my grandma her results.
What is going on in this persons head? My grandma may be in a life or death situation and he refuses to let her know the results and start getting the care that she needs so he can go chill somewhere. What is happening with the medical care profession in this country? This is ridiculous.
So my grandma needs a lot of prayer and so does the rest of our family. Please pray that she would be able to have peace of mind until she gets her results. Please pray that our family would have peace during this time. Pray for the healing that she may need. Finally please pray for Bree and I as we try to do everything we are supposed to be doing during this time.
Bree's grandpa, is doing better and he is able to talk for the first time since the brain surgery he underwent on Halloween. He is having some circulation problems and his fingers are turning black. If this doesn't improve he might loose them.
The doctors also found out that when he fell and hit his head he also broke his hip and yesterday he went into hip surgery and is now recovering. Please pray for his healing and for Arthur and our family to have peace for this situation.
We found out that the reason Bree's grandpa was walking around was that he was told to go find his wife when his dialysis was over. You don't send someone who has just been in a procedure like dialysis out to find their wife when they are in a strange place without a walker (he requires a walker to get around the house let alone a clinic).We don't know how long he wandered around the clinic with no one to point him in the right direction or ask him if he needed any help. He ended up outside face down on the pavement covered in blood.
What has happened to the health care profession in this country? This is ridiculous. Two different health care facilities in two different states on separate coasts and there is this incompetence and apathy. This is unacceptable.
This blog probably sounds very angry, and I am but I feel that I need to clarify. I am angry not for my sake but for the sake of my family members who had to deal with this garbage. I am angry at the actions and the behavior of the these clinics and their workers who are doing a very poor job of taking care of my family and possibly many others. I am pointing out the problems so that someone might make a solution. How many of our grandparents, parents, children, family and friends in this country will have to be injured or killed until this industry wakes up and gets a clue? One is too many.
Please pray for all of our families on all sides that are dealing with everything that has happened in the past two weeks. We all need it.
