UPDATE: He passed tonight at 8:30 with my dh and MIL there with him. 
My dh is heartbroken.
...but if you could spare any good thoughts/prayers, they would be greatly appreciated. My FIL is in a Boston hospital and not expected to make it through the night. My dh got the call from this mother while he was at a car dealership this afternoon (trading in his car because he hit a deer on his way home from work on Friday night).
I'm probably going to ramble a bit...but I'm home with my kids while dh and MIL are at the hospital (they JUST got there 15 mins ago). My FIL is such a good guy...but very old school when it comes to financial info and medical stuff. My MIL and FIL hasn't had a great marriage for the last 15+ years but circumstances (mostly financial) kept them together. FIL bottled EVERYTHING up inside and never let it out - stress, anxiety, etc. Last Monday, dh stopped by their place and FIL secretly shared some medical stuff with dh. MIL didn't know about all that was going on with FIL medically...but he wanted my DH to know "in case anything happened". FIL basically brought up all of his medical records online and told Joe to look it over (MIL had no clue what FIL was showing to my dh). My dh read that he was in congestive heart failure and had 20L of fluid built up around his heart...and from what DH read, they didn't know the cause. Within the last couple of years, FIL had been diagnosed as diabetic. He didn't eat right, didn't exercise, in general just didn't take care of himself.
My dh is an only child...so MIL only has me and dh. There's no other family left out here and all of FILs family is in WI. My dh was so lost this afternoon...and I felt/feel helpless. If you could keep my dh and MIL and FIL in your thoughts/prayers, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
