Prays sent. Try to make him as comfortable as possible. Do talk to him and find comfort in The Lords pray.

Say everything you need to say
Good, bad, mundane......say it all
My father called his parent's home in the evening of May 14, 2011 to check in on a motorcycle trip he was on with his brother, cousin, and their fans. He was not an avid rider, but he was having a blast.
He spoke briefly with my mother, and i did not insist on talking that evening because i knew that he was tired. Little did any of us know that would be his final night's sleep.
As absurd as it sounds, I will beat myself for the rest of my life for not speaking with him that fateful night. We both knew where we stood. He will always be my best friend, but my heart crumbles at the everlasting knowledge that i was so flippant with my last opportunity to let him know how much I love him.
You have the opportunity to not make the same mistake as I. I trust that you will, or already have, done the appropriate thing.

I am sorry to hear this. I'll say one for your Dad and your family.
Stuff happens at this age. I am 62 and I just heard that my brother, who is a 60 year old doctor down in Richmond, Va, had to have his appendix removed yesterday on an emergency basis. There appears to be some complications.
Hang in there. And God Bless.

Thoughts are with you man. I lost my mom when I was 13. It's hard. But hopefully your dad will pull through 
Posted on 4/6/14 at 10:20 am to LosLobos111
You've got it man. Lost mine 1/15, was healthy 82 year old golfer until mid-September. We had some really great times through those tough days, I'd love one more of those. We are all going to die one day, make everything before then special. Prayers that he recovers.

Not much has happened since last I posted
He's sleeping and on oxygen
His BP was changing wildly last night(was at 205/148 then at like 130/80) his pulse kept changing back and forth from 124 to 65 then settled at 80.
He also was coughing up some weird stuff
Nurse thought it might have been some type of death sign or something
He has home hospice right now(it's not because he was dying earlier but as a temporary fix until we could get a full time aide,it's a long story)
We've struggled getting the right care to come after he got out of the nursing home(aides didn't know what they were doing/management etc. Thank god my mom stayed on top of it.)
It's just upsetting something like this happens after finally getting things right.
I deeply thank you all for the support,i've never really been in a situation like this.

Just shed a tear for you.
It's hard having to deal with it. Mortality is some real shite.
God bless.
