Hi there!
I haven't been here for a while...
How are you?
Did I miss much?? What happened on QZ the last 3 weeks?
Here's a little story I'd like to tell you, the reason why I haven't been here.
My father was very sick, he had a dangerous infection in the inside of his belly. It all started 3 weeks ago, when he needed an emergency surgery.
He was put to artificial coma.
After that, he had 2 more surgeries on the 2 following days, that is 3 surgeries within 3 days, quite a lot for a human body.
After this last surgery, there came a long time of waiting. He was still in artificial coma, oxygen resuscitation apparatus, the strongest medication ever...
But he didn't seem to react. His state was critical and it didn't change for about 1 week. No one knew if he was going to survive it or not, the doctors actually didn't even believe that he'd make it.
Finally, after more than 1 week, he started to react...
His state got a little more stable, a little better every day until they could finally wake him up last week!
He'd been in coma for 2 whole weeks and was totally confused when he woke up.
He's doing a little bit better now... starting to walk and to talk again and is out of intensive care.
It will take time for him to recover, one more week of hospital and then rehabilitation center. And another surgery in about 3 months time (his body is too weak now but he'll need one more which isn't so urgent though).
Anyway, I wouldn't post all this if there wasn't something great about it, that I wanted to share:
Everybody had actually given him up, no one really believed that he was going to survive this, but I believe that there was something that made him fight! And thank God, he has won!
Miracles do happen... sometimes.
Welcome Back! :) That's wonderful about your father's miracle. Great news.
You haven't missed much around here, few new topics like a petition to allow gay marriage and Dan put up some cool new lyrics he wrote. :)
