Hello everyone... the past couple of days has taken Mom and the family on a series of roller coaster rides that have been treacherous, but ones that we've anticipated for some time now.
Dad's pneumonia has progress and more fluid is beginning to consume his lungs causing him to labor to breathe. The oxygen he is on as assisted this breathing, but he continues to decline and every breath becomes a struggle.
As of this morning, Mom called everyone and the kids are headed back up to the hospital to be with Mom and Dad. Sometime this morning when Mom is ready she'll request that the oxygen be taken away and let Dad pass-on under his and God's will. Knowing Dad... it will be his way and one that will be with dignity and not putting Mom through any more continued pain, suffering or worry.
Mom and Dad have BOTH endured an incredible amount of pain and suffering throughout this. We all are thankful that God has allowed us all to spend an extra amount of time with Dad and been able to say our good byes as we each have needed to. We are also thankful for the amount of Love and Prayers from everyone. No one should have to go through this alone. Mom and Dad certainly haven't been alone throughout this! Family and Friends have been a pillar of support for them and us! This means the world to all of us and we can't thank you all enough.
I'll keep updating throughout the day and again, your continued thoughts and prayers are appreciated. I can just hear Dad sayin'... "come on let's get this over with... we're Burnin' Daylight!"
Love to all, Tony
