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.

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.
