********* Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 She said she received some information this morning that she needs to talk to me about. She wants to be the one to talk to me, not my older sister that's there right now. She won't tell me any more until I get there. I can't leave until dh gets home from work whenever he can this afternoon. I can only assume it's about putting dad on hospice. I don't know how much longer I can do this. I keep feeling kind of like I might go crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH_Homeschooler Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm sorry. The waiting must be so hard. I'd prefer she tell me in a text than make me wait all day! But I understand why she would want to talk to you in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILiveInFlipFlops Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Oh Bethany, I'm so sorry :grouphug: I think I'd insist on knowing right then and there, not being made to wait until I could get to the hospital. That's not fair :( I hope it's not the news you fear it is :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Oh Bethany, I was right there last week. Right there. I couldn't do it either. But I somehow did. May I just say that there was a peace at the end that I can not describe. The limbo was awful. Watching him fail was worse. But once he was gone, I was so relieved. I know that sounds weird. There was just a quiet calm that washed over us and filled us with peace. I sit in dread for you and the road you're traveling. I wish I lived nearer so I could watch your kiddos for you so you can go now. It's the waiting that's terrible. My prayers are with you. Hang tight. It will be okay.

Only it was three years ago and my dad calling about my mom. And then last year when I found my dad, I told my dh I just couldn't go through all that again. Yet somehow I did. I know you have a very strong faith. Feel the support. Hold on to your family. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dad now also has ARDS. We're talking about setting up a meeting with the nurse manager, all dad's physicians, mom, and us girls. No hospice yet, but it's headed that way.

Catwoman Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm so sorry, Bethany -- I had a feeling that the info from your mom wasn't going to be good news. :( Is there any chance that different doctors at a different hospital might have some new ideas to help your father?
