My mother-in-law called. DiL is not doing well, had to return to the ICU again and is very weak. The doctors wanted to put him back on a ventilator, but MiL and DiL were adamant that that wasn’t going to happen. He’s said “enough,” he’s done. After talking it over with DiL, they’re having the hospital people remove all support machinery and equipment except oxygen and pain meds. They don’t expect him to last more than 24-48 hours.
It seems that I won’t get a chance to say goodbye to him after all. I wish he could have gone home; I wish we could have taken him home in July when we were there. Now, they don’t think he’d survive the move.
It’s awful and sad. He so wants to be able to die at home in his own bed. It’s such a small thing, and it makes me heartsick that he can’t have that.
We’re readying ourselves to head up north.
So sorry. I’ll be thinking about you and your family.
Oh Eugie, I’m so sorry. That’s so hard to go through. Sending you strength & comfort vibes!
*hugs* 🙁 Much love and support and everything else 🙁
*hugs* to you all. I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry, Eugie. My dad has suffered a series of health disasters the past two years so I know the awful stress you and your family are bearing. It’s agonizing.
Why don’t you head on up there now? Maybe you could get there in time.
We need to make arrangements to have Hobkin looked after while we’re gone.
I’m also getting to the age where this is a frequent worry. My mother has been in and out of the hospital for the last two weeks, and we recently had to rush DiL to the emergency room. My thoughts and prayers will be with you…
Oh, Eugie…that’s just awful. I am so sorry…
I’ll be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers…*hugs*
So sorry to hear this, Eugie…
I’m so sorry to hear that, Eugie. Hugs to you and yours.
My thoughts are with you and your family. So sorry…
You don’t know me, but you have my heartfelt sympathy. I can’t even imagine and don’t want to know what that must be like.
I’m sorry to hear that dear. May you and your family find the support and strength you need during this difficult time
I’m sorry.
I’m so sorry Eugie. My thoughts are with you and Matthew.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
