my dad

I'm not the praying kind, so please, if you are, pray for my dad. He's in intensive care with a blood infection. He has no immune system to speak of, so this is a very serious. Thanks.

((((Badger and Daddy Badger))))

and prayers too

Badger - hang in there. It is really so hard when our parents are ailing. I'm sending all the warmest, hugest, good thoughts your way.

Badger, so sorry to hear about it. This is very stressful for all his family. Take care of yourself too when you get a chance.

I can't imagine the worry he and you and your family are having. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Sending positive thought and wishes your way.

Prayers headed your way. Take care of yourself.

My thoughts for your family and dad, badger.

Maybe take time off from work to be near him since this is very serious.

Oh no.

I'm not the praying kind either but I will send warm and healing thoughts your way as well. Hugs to you and your dad.

((Badger and family))
Healing thoughts your way.

My thoughts are with you and your family as well.

You and your dad are in my thoughts. :(

Badger, praying that your dad is getting the best of care and that he can fight this off!

I wish him strength and health. I hope he beats this. (((hugs)))

I'll keep you and your dad in my thoughts. Hoping for peace and healing.

thank you, everyone, for your kind thoughts.

The nurse called us for a family meeting to discuss our options while my dad was still cognisant. Since there were no treatment options left for him, we all agreed that no heroic measures will be taken to prolong his suffering.

It's happened so very quickly, he was fine Wednesday morning and by Thursday morning he couldn't walk and had difficulty breathing. And now his kidneys have shut down so there's nothing more they can do for him other than to keep him comfortable.

He has a chronic condition that has no cure, but it's taken us all by surprise at how quickly it has come to this point.

The nurses have been amazing, they really are earthbound angels.

I am so sorry, badger. Wishing you strength and courage, and peace of mind.

(((Badger & family)))

I'm so sorry. Strength and comfort to you.

Thinking of you and your family.
Yes, nurses are really amazing.

Badger, I'm so sorry. I'm keeping you, your dad and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Badger, I am not religious but when something like this happens, I kind of talk to somebody up there, so today I will be having a little chat.

Sending lots of hugs and a special one for your Dad.

Thinking of you and all your family, especially your Dad.

Also not the praying kind, but know that warm thoughts and hopes for you and your father are coming from me too.

I'm so sorry you, your dad, and his loved ones are going through this. Best wishes for strength and peace to all of you.

More good wishes to you.
Take care of each other.

So sorry to hear. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.

I'm also thinking about you. Take care.

I am so sorry for this calimity. Prayers for your Dad, for you and for a miracle of healing.

Dealing with a dad who is ill is hard enough, the sudden onset makes it that much harder. Take care of your mom.

am praying for your dad and your family right now. nothing could have prepared you for this, so I'm praying your family can handle what is thrown at you. I truly understand what you're going through. :(

Sending a prayer and my thoughts from here. I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your Dad.

thanks again, everyone.

He saw the priest (not religious but he wanted to see one), and afterwards asked for something to help him sleep. I got there just after they took him off the medication to keep his blood pressure up. He was sedated and resting comfortably so I went home. My brother and his wife got there around 11pm, and around midnight I got a call that I should get to the hospital.

I had to go pick my mother up, so by the time we got there, he had already gone. Nobody thought it would happen that quickly, but I guess he was ready to go. At least my brother and his wife were there and they said he went very peacefully. He went to sleep and never woke up, so that was the kindest thing we could have hoped for him.

(((((((badger))))))) I'm so sorry for your loss.

But glad that he didn't suffer long.

Take good care. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

(((Badger and family)))

Glad his final moments were peaceful and not alone. Deepest condolences to you and your family.

Badger, I'm so sorry about father. I hope you and your family find the love and support that you need to get through this difficult time. Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Badger. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
