KerryToo Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 My FIL has been in "in-house" hospice care for a few days now. He would go through phases of confusion to pure clarity. He's been cracking jokes with the nurses and visiting friends alternating with deep sleep. His doctor just informed us that he "is ready to go". His lungs are filling with fluid and he is no longer eating or drinking. Thanks for your support. Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyn Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Kerry, I am so sorry for what you are going through. It sounds as if you are all enjoying spending quality time with your father in law, and he sounds like quite a character.... still able to make jokes with the nurses. May God keep him safe.... Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelanieLR Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Dear Kerry, I'm so sorry. I pray for peace for your FIL as well as all who love him so. Melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelliemacs Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I am so sad about this. I am so sorry about this. the pain seems undelieveable right now. without upsetting you, when mom and dad passed in the few minutes after they went, a feeling of "its over" came over me and grief replaced unending fear. It wasn't that it was a better feeling, but worry was all gone in just a second and the end was calm. my prayers are with your family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
