update on my dad

Michelle, we are at the exact time and place and yes it's like you are watching everything happen but not really there. Hospice told me about the first week in October but unless there is something drastic I don't see it yet. His blood pressure is usually around 100 now over 50 -60. Pain under control, not eating much and sleeping more. Other than that nothing so far like vomiting or etc. Maybe we will be lucky and they will just kind of quietly slip away. At least that's what I am hoping for Teddy. I did decide that when we have a few days left I am sending him to Hospice facility as they are better equipped to take care of him than I am.  He agrees. All I can say is try to be very strong and it's all in Gods hands now. You remember the old song, "He Has The Whole World in His Hands"? Ain't that the truth?

thanks marion, for being here and supporting us
Thanks for the support as well,Lainy ,yes,our roads are merging, i too pray that dad slips away quietly and peacefully, you, ted, kimmie and pam are in my thoughts and prayers, our priest will come today, have also asked the gp for something for my mom, she shakes alot and is not sleeping or eating much
Love to all and thank you

Pam

Thank you, i remember your mom's passing like it was yesterday, as it came  round about the time my dad was diagnosed when your mom passed, i often refer back to your posts at that time - thank you for this gift.  I will maintain some board silence for now, but will let everyone know when the time has come.  I have just come into to sort out some work, i am a teacher and then back to my family

I am praying for peace, and acceptance.....

Love

Michelle
