Update (Delays Ahead)
6 years ago
General
Just a heads up, I'm really sorry about the delay in working on my art the past few days.
My stepdad's health has gone downhill again and isn't coming up. It started as an infection in the bone on his remaining leg. Well he refused having that one amputated as well and so the infection is septic. He ended up also refusing dialysis that day as well saying he no longer wanted it, and the hospital can't force him to have it. Yesterday he failed a swallowing test so they had him on a feeding tube for a day until my mom decided what to do next.
As of this morning he is completely unresponsive, his blood pressure is very low, and he's running a 104F fever. This afternoon my mom met with Hospice and has made the call to take him off of everything and just let him go. So he's off the feeding tube and all his medications and is on morphine now.
I went to see him myself and despite how much of a monster he was to me growing up, seeing him like that was just a painful reminder of when my grandpa (his dad) passed a few years back.
The doctors don't think he'll last through the weekend, my sister and I don't think he'll make it through the night just from comparing him to cases we've both seen working in the medical field.
But either way, I've been helping keep my nephew while my mom gets things in order. Because the hospital is no place for a baby, especially not with how my stepdad is currently.
I'm still trying to get some work done here and there while caring for my nephew, but things unfortunately will be a wee bit slow until he passes.
I'll be updating once he does pass so that you all know when to expect me back on the ball full time.
I'm sorry for the delays this may cause and I'm still going to aim hard to have Halloween stuff done by Halloween!
Thank you guys for understanding.
