I deeply apologize for being away from Dad's health blog for a number of days. I have been at the hospital managing a turn of events that has us all DEVASTATED.
This weekend, Dad’s health declined profoundly.
He has succumbed to the recent staph infection, despite 3 different antibiotics administered via IV.
8 years of ravaging dialysis have left his body too week to fight the antibiotic-resistant infection and his organs are now shutting down.
The medical staff has urged us to bring in Hospice immediately.
My brother Russ is here from Saudi Arabia, along with Dad’s sister Margie from Pennsylvania.
Given all the complications, Dad will most likely pass away within 3-7 days.
We are shocked & dismayed.
I am headed back to the hospital right now to discuss details with Hospice and move Dad to the facility where we will say our final goodbyes.
This week will bring unprecedented grief in our lives.
If you want to email your feelings for Dad, I PROMISE to read them to him over and over. He will know how you feel before he passes away.
