HE HAS LOST CONTROL OF HIS "FUNCTIONS" AND THEY HAVE HAD TO PUT DIAPERS ON HIM NOW. HE HAS TOLD MY STEP MOM THAT HE KNOWS IT IS TIME, HE IS TIRED. AND WITHOUT THE DIALYASIS, HE WILL NOT MAKE IT. BUT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TODAY AT ALL. HE IS NOT GOOD AT ALL....WE ARE NOW GETTING PREPARED.....IF THERE IS A WAY TO DO THAT.....I HAVE CREID ALL DAY. I AM COOKING SUPPER FOR HIM AND MAKING A PIE, AND I MAY GET HIM TO EAT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR ME. HE ATE A LITTLE LAST NIGHT FOR MY SON, BUT THE HOSPICE CAME IN LAST NIGHT AND TODAY AND TOLD US, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.......I AM AT A LOSS RIGHT NOW, I KNOW THIS IS COMING, BUT I AM NOT AND WILL NOT BE READY..... THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL WORDS OF SUPPORT AND ALL THE PRAYERS, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME AND MY FAMILY.....I WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH OUT SOME OF YOU ON HERE......SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN MY ROCK....AND I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART...... PLEASE KEEP US ALL IN YOUR PRAYERS.....THAT MY DAD WILL MAKE HIS JOURNEY HOME SOON, SO THAT HE WILL HAVE NO MORE PAIN.....HE IS TIRED, AND HE KNOWS IT IS TIME.......I JUST AM NOT READY, BUT I DO NOT WANT HIM TO HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE......TIME WILL HEAL.....MY MEMORIES WILL LIVE FOREVER...... I THANK YOU ALL AGAIN.....I NEED TO FINISH COOKING AND GET READY TO GO TO MY DADDY'S.........I NEED TO STOP CRYING, I WILL NOT LET HIM SEE ME CRY.....BUT HE KNOWS I DO....

Kim honey {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}} CALL your hospice nurse... that is what they do... NOT just nursing the family member who is ill, but also to help those who are around him. Trust me on this one... talk to her, I have no doubt she can help you. {{{HUGS}}}
