NC Beast and I are praying for you and your family. When I was working years ago in MD, I worked with adults who were developmentally disabled. One of the people in the group home was terminally ill. She went downhill on the first day that I changed from part time to full time at her residence. She knew her time was close--she said thank you and that night she went into a coma. The company worked with a local hospice during this client's brief stay. The hospice volunteer was the greatest. It was so hard knowing that we were not to do CPR. The client's family came and all of us took turns holding her hand. It was hard letting her go. It was hard also because the month before dear MIL (back then the future MIL)'s father passed on after a long illness. It is never easy, but knowing friends and family's prayers help a great deal.
Hugs and support,
NC Belle and NC Beast
So very sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with him and all your family. God Bless him and may your family be granted faith and strength to handle his decision and get through the upcoming days ahead.
Has anyone like a rehab specialist spoken with him before he made his decision regarding the surgery? Not that it would change his mind, but just so that he would have more information before making his final decision.... I'm just really sorry, I can't even tell you how many times I have JUST taken off my seatbelt to grab something really quick & then put it right back on... from now on I will keep this story in mind... maybe others learning from his experience will be of help to the family.
