St Patty's Day Part two

Well, another pretty rough day. Mary Lou said he got very aggitated around noon. Was angry, wanting to get out of the bed and wanting a cigarette(hasnt smoked in years) She fed him some ice chips and he stole the spoon. They gave him morphene around noon. I got there around 1 computer in tow. It may become my new office. Allot quieter than my office I have now. He slept most of the day. Guess he woke up around 4 or so. Then the hard part starts. Its funny how the brain works. Its like there is a tornado going on up there because he is talking but nothing is making any sense. Its the saddest thing. What I wouldnt give for one more conversation with my daddy:(

Anyways, Drs Kane and Bergeron both came back in this evening. Main news is his kidneys still arent functioning right and until they do, we cant even begin to think about chemo. Also found more activity in his lungs today. Thinking it may be fluid. Started the feeding tube again but his stomach was swelling again so they stopped it, called for consult with GI doctor tomorrow and will try again, maybe with different formula. CT scan showed allot of air around the tube which may be causing the swelling. Right now we are hoping for a miracle and I believe in a God that can perform them. Please pray with me.. more tomorrow.
