I am not going to make this one of my run-on posts - partly because I rushed home for some lunch and will be rushing back to spend time with Dad.
He has taken a huge turn for the worst and we had a meeting this morning with his care team. They are going to do a few tests to see what is happening, but basically we are just going to keep him "comfortable" with pain medication and a sedative. I will be taking a tour of the facility's Hospice unit as that may be the next best step.
I am good. Had a cry with my sister and but am back being the strong one with Dad and the staff. I have heard him talk about how awful he feels and how he is ready to die for quite awhile now. I don't want to lose him, but the man in that bed is NOT my Dad....at least not the one I have fond memories of.
If you could keep us in your thoughts and/or prayers I would appreciate it.
