Tautoko Steven through his Cancer Journey

dad has been in hospital for a very long time, Dad has been battling infections, fluid retention, graft vs host disease, rashes, loss of eye sight, we had a period of 5 weeks where dad was unable to eat anything with everything he did take in fluid wise it would either retain in his legs or he would have uncontrollable bowel motions. Dads had feeding tubes inserted, many scans done, been in and out of isolation. Many infusions and blood products going through daily, Every day with dad is very different, I have recieved multiple phonecalls within the last month from the hospital, with the doctors being very worried about dad, they meet regularly to ensure dad is on the right path. We have also been told dads CMV virus levels is high which is very worrying to the doctors which now they have put dad on an urgent course of medicine as this cmv virus can be very dangerous and or fatal. Dad’s condition is very serious but we are assured that dad is being taken care of. There is so much going on that its been very hard to keep an update going with this post being a small snipet of not only this admission and the previous, it has been by far the most mentally challenging for us all but also physically exhausting for dad. Unfortunately this morning dad has been put back in isolation with rhino virus, as tough as things are right now we know dad has the mental capacity to over come anything that has been thrown at him.
