Fathers Day
Posted 9 hours ago
It sure won't be the same this year. I miss dad very much. Brian misses his Poppy very much. I was blessed to have one of the best fathers possible.
Brian is just miserable. His bowels are shutting down and he can no longer have his formula because hIs body won't digest it. He is hungry but can't eat. All we can give him is small amounts of clear liquids with his meds but he has trouble keeping it down.
He is such a brave fighter but I fear he is in the last round. Brian refused to quit and wants to enjoy as much of what is left of his earthly life. During a short period that he was awake today he wanted to play basketball. But, we fear he will need to remain sedated to keep him comfortable. And that is what is most important.
We pray that the Lord will bless us with more time with him as long as he is pain free. Brian has amazed the entire hospice staff by his ability to overcome the extremely high doses of meds he is on. By all accounts, he shouldn't have been able to be coherent at all.
So, we aren't giving up on our brave warrior because he might just decide to beat this too. Lord willing.
