Ok so last night I got a call that my Uncle Chad was "code blue". He was apparently admitted yesterday morning to the hospital with internal bleeding and he was peeing blood.
I was like WTF hes gone? They said he was brain dead and not responding to anything. It was like a shock, I was so confused. I didnt even know he was doing bad or anything.
A little history about him.
He has been fighting cancer for the last 10 years. Within the last 2 years it has been getting worse and worse. He hasnt been able to work for the last 5 years and the last year to two he had been in a wheel chair.
The past few months is what really got me. The medicine has been eating away at his body internally. He has been having failures left and right but the worse part of it all is that it has been taking a toll on his marriage and his kids.
He has 2 kids that both hate him. Because of all of the medicine it has literally made him crazy. He is almost bi-polar and I guess one can only take so much yelling and stuff sick or not.
I know they still love him but the kids have moved out of their dads house, along with his wife ( i think this took a huge toll on why his health has suddenly went down hill )
Well back to my uncle...
He was labeled "code blue" yesterday night. They said no body movement, or signs of brain activity. I was in shock. Well then I was informed this morning that he came back?
WTF?
I dont know what is going on. I am right now searching for a flight to Minnesota to see him. They are only giving him a few more days and they arent even certain about that. I mean to lable someone dead then say well maybe not.
I hope everything turns around, but even looking on the bring side, internally he is bleeding. They dont know from where. The medicines have torn his insides up so much that the slightest mistake could cause even more harm. Then you have the brain damage already from being i guess "dead" then coming back.
All I can do right now is pray that everything goes well. If he passes I hope it is peacefully. I know he has been in incredible pain through the last years.
Please everyone keep chad in your prayers.
