Update on my dad

[simplyn2deep]

We have been told to discontinue giving him all food/liquids since he is unable to swallow and if we try to give him anything, he could choke. He is also being switched to a pain patch to make him comfortable. With the discontinuation of food/liquids, the doctor says that we shouldn't expect him to live past 7 days. We will be sent a nurse to be with us/him 24/7 until he passes away.

I've called my brother, sister and aunt and sent an email to our Pastor. My aunt is going to call her siblings (she's my dad's sister) to let them know. I haven't actually been able to get a hold of my sister, but I left her a message asking to call me back when she gets the chance.

My mom is calling the rest of the family (her side) to let them know.

Thanks. That's what I've been doing since this all started back in May with my dad's first stroke.

*big hugs* to you, my dear! I'm so very sorry that you have to be going through this. You've had a tough year. I lost both of my parents years ago, but I still remember how difficult and confusing it is. *more hugs*
