I don't think my Father's going to make it...(Sad Update)!!

[birdiesunshine]

Please send prayers, pixie dust and whatever else you can think of for my 60 yr old Dad. He was diagnosed with a horrible brain disease 4 yrs ago. It's a type of dementia. Even though he can only communicate to us by smiling, crying or sqeezing our hands, I know he is still very much aware of our family. My stepmom just called to tell me that in the middle of the night he bit his finger very badly and when my stepmom took him to the ER this morning they told her that it was a bad infection and the only way they can cure it would be to do surgery. My stepmom doesn't feel that he should be cut open to get rid of the infection due to his deteriorated condition. I kind of agree with her as he can't do anything for himself, but he's my Dad and I don't want him to die. I am waiting for DH to get home so we can go see him in the hospital to find out what is definitely going to happen. I think I'm gonna puke!!! Please keep him in your thoughts.

Thanks!


(update) My Dad passed away this morning in his sleep. I know that I should be so relieved that his suffering is over, but the pain I feel is boundless. I am in total shock as is our whole family. We somehow believed he could exist the way he was forever. The only good thing about this is that my Stepmom has agreed to have him buried in my town, not theirs which is 45 mins away. Knowing he will be only 5 mins away from me gives me some peace. Thanks for all your prayers, thoughts and pixie dust. I just hope the healing process starts quickly for us. Life Sucks!!
