Oh Paula, I am so sorry for all of you. This is so hard, and I will keep you, your Dad and your Mom in my heart. I wish there was something I could do for you
besides sending you love.

Thank you all so very much for your kind words. You are all so sweet and kind. He is still in the hospital. He is in icu. He's talking about telling the heart drs to turn off his icd. I don't know if he will or not but us kids and Mom have decided it is his choice, he is the one having to suffer through all of this. He's feeling the physical and emotional pain of it all. We are only feeling the emotional part and that is heartbreaking!
I am going back tomorrow or Monday. I just came home yesterday for a couple of days. |

This is so hard Paula. You all are right though, it is his choice. I am so glad that he is able to state his wishes. It is so hard when we have to make decisions for our loved ones. I know it is so hard. He has been through a lot of pain and emotions. He must be very tired and very brave to withstand all of this. Drive safely tomorrow. I hope you all can find some peace.

Paula, it makes my heart ache knowing what you are going through. Wish we all lived closer so we could be there in person for each other. Prayers are continuing for you and your family.

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! |
