Okay here's what is happening. He decided to have everything turned off. They tried to do dialysis night before last and could not get any fluid off of him. Last night he refused dialysis. Today he has taken no meds except for pain meds. He has two drips..one to keep his blood pressure up and one to help keep his heart in rhythm. Tonight they are weaning him off of those, he has enough to last 5 or 6 more hours. Today he had medtronics to come in and turn off his defibralator..the part that shocks you, the pace maker is still on.

All of our immediate family were there today. My sister and I are staying a block from the hospital..so we came over here to rest for a few hours. Mom is at the hospital, they brought her a recliner.

Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers. I feel the love from reading your words. I love this forum and my wonderful friends here. I will keep you posted as to what is happening. It is in God's hands now. At least I know where my Dad will be spending eternity and that in itself means the world to me. But I will miss him so badly!
