As y'all mostly know my 95 year old father had been living with me and my family for the last two years.
On Sunday morning he has a major stroke. And was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
I kept wanting to post but have been shuttling back and forth between the hospital and home to keep things going.
Yesterday it looked as though he could be moving forward to improve enough to go to a nursing/rehab facility.
Today his breathing is labored and he has developed aspiration pneumonia. The doctor was in and basically said this is the end.
We are now moving on to comfort measures.
I have called our church and a priest is on his way to give him Last Rites.
But for now, I am all alone with my dying father.
DH has been up here every day for longer than I have because he knows how hard it has been on me.
I told him not to come up today because I know he needed a break and Dad had been improving.
I guess I am posting now to try to take my mind off of everything.
? Dad has been saying for the last several months he is ready to go and be with my mom (although I think he wanted to pass in his sleep)
So can I selfishly ask for prayers for myself and my family?
This week has been so very hard and not a single person other than DH (and my kids) has asked how ~I~ am doing. I know that it's not about me, but I could use some support.
Apologies for rambling.
