Tough News

It’s been a tough day already. We met with dad’s doctor this morning. We got more clear information on what is happening with his heart. He does not believe it’s the fluid but is the tumor itself causing problems. It’s causing so many problems and just zapping his body of everything. John asked him some very straightforward questions and thankfully Dr. Chambers doesn’t tip-toe around things. He does not think we will be able to turn it around this time and dad will probably not make it out of the hospital, if he does it would be with Hospice. He did not give us any sort of timeline. Then with tears in his eyes he looked at me and told me dad won’t be here to meet his grandson. I’ve known that for some time now but to hear him say it just broke my heart into a million pieces. I’m actually on my laptop in the parking lot, trying to get this posted and get myself pulled together – not at all an easy task right now. The doctor hugged John and I both as he left. What a wonderful support he has been to us in this journey. What we need now is much prayer for many things as it appears this long journey comes to an end. Thank you for love, support, and continued prayers.
