need some help...

My dads health for the past 10yrs. Has been regressing,but the last 8 months has gotten out of hand.


I personally brought him to the ER 5 times this year alone, he always wanted me to bring him vs the ambulance.if they come the whole crew shows up cops fire dept ect.
Pride.

Well today I was too far from my parents house so my mom brought my dad to the ER.he was there for 8 hrs. In the ER dpt And then they found a room.After a battery of test I awaited a call from my mom.

Well after getting home from work and cooking supper for my family and I went to my parents house and met up with my mom to make sure things are ok & make sure she has something to eat and all is wel.

At 21:36 she got a call from the hospital my dads primary doctor was on the phone, so I picked up the other phone and was able to conference call along with my mom and the doctor......


Bottom line guys,I have never asked from you,but please say a blessing for my dad,because he was just sentence with stage 4 liver cancer...
Along with is other ailments of blood leukemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, A fabulation ect.

Any positive thoughts his way will be felt and hopefully healing to him...

Thanks for reading.


Bobby

I'm so sorry to hear that, Bob. Your dad is in my thoughts and prayers, along with your mom and the rest of your family. Please call me if you need anything, or if you just want to get out and grab a beer.

Sorry to hear this Bob. I just lost my Dad March 4th- after ten years of bi-monthly ER visits and hospitalizations.

You know they are not going to live forever but it is still so very difficult to fathom them not being here anymore. Do whatever you can to coerce a smile or laugh out of your Dad in his final days. Share your fondest memories and be sure to tell him how much he is loved and appreciated. Stay strong for your Mom but allow yourself to feel your true emotions as well. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family...

That's a tough thing to go through Bob. Your Mom must be out of her mind as I'm sure you probably are too. You and your family will be remembered in our prayers.

Hang in there Bob. He is in my thoughts and prayers buddy. Sorry to hear the latest.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Thinking of you, Bob..... The circle of life presents the best and worst of times. Lost my Dad 21 years ago last Christmas Eve. At some point it all we can do to make them most comfortable and retain their dignity. Having a family meeting to make sure all are on the same page will be a big help as time goes on.
