Hey folks...my dad is in ICU after a heart attack. The thing is, he went to the hospital a week ago because of pancreatitis and things just seem to be snowballing. Last night he had a heart attack and now he is off to a new hospital via helicopter.
My question is, what are the risks of neurological damage from a heart attack? He is sedated, and was sedated when he had the heart attack, but very stable. I am just tattered at the thought I will never have a lucid conversation with the father I had shared humor with a week earlier...
I am 1500 miles away from him right now, and 24 hours from the soonest flight (which is amazing for the time of year as it is). He is 73 and I cannot help but think this is the beginning of the end of my best friend and father I cannot imagine being without...what a christmas. I am terrified I have had my last conversation with him...
thanks for letting my cry on your shoulders.
