Sorry guys been with Dad almost 24/7 this last week.  He is in hospice, weak but fighting.  He is confused most of the time but we have had some good moments together.  Today is tough he believes hc is back at work and talking in detail about his job becoming angry with me when I try to keep him from getting out if bed. 

Pray that he has a peaceful end and soon.

Will be back soon
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sorry to hear this, but happy to realize you are getting to spend time with him. It seems you've taken the advice some have given you to heart, and I am VERY happy to hear that.

Losing a loved one, especially a parent, is among the hardest and most trying events we go through in life. I fully understand what you are going through Henry, and my thoughts are with you and your father every waking moment.

Still doing about the same........getting weaker.  I had to get away, so I came in to work for a few hours today.  My wife is with him today........she said he is sleeping peacefully.

As are mine, Henry. I am so sorry for the sadness of this Christmas for you; believe me, I know how you feel, what you are going through. My father passed away in late November after a long illness (he had lung cancer). He was 47 years old.

I'm sorry things are so bad at this time of year for your family Hank.  :'( You and yours remain at the forefront of my thoughts.  :yes:

It is never easy to a loved one and the holidays make it even harder. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Libby, I am sorry to hear about your dad. Lung cancer is hard. It takes young people. My dad died from it, he was 52.

Well guys my Dad is still hanging in there despite the fact he has not eaten in 18 days.

He still responds with slight facial movement when I speak with him.

He squeezes my hand gently when I tell him I love him....

Tomorrow will mark exactly 4 weeks since we brought him to the hospital.  This has been a roller coaster of emotions for my family.  I have been fortunate that my boss has supported me along with my wife and kids i have been allowed to spend my time with him.  As tough as it is I consider myself blessed that I have spent nearly every hour by his side.

His bp is dropping slowly every day, his breathing is more shallow, and urine output is almost none.  His body is week but his spirit is strong.  I know this what he wants but he his body won't let go.

I believe his time is down to hours.... It will be sad yet a time of celebration.

Thanks for your support and your pms

From what you describe, his time is indeed short.  You are in my thoughts HH.
