DQ, so sorry to hear he isn't doing better. Maybe the transfer is just what he needs. Hang in there and remember, Christmas is where you make it.

DQ, I know exactly where you're coming from. It will be tough, but you and your family have to continue to show him strength, love, and compassion. While you may think that he has no quality of life left, I'd dare say that he has a lot of quality left in his life. Not the least of which is an amazing daughter like you.

He is being moved to a rehab center for a couple of days, until his docs can get him scheduled at a different hospital for some vascular surgery.
He is still in the same condition.

Prayers from PA DQ. I have been in your position with a critically ill relative at Christmas more than once and it is very difficult. Try your best to find something positive to treasure and remember about this holiday and make sure that you spend some time with him.

I don't usually go into the Couch, but for some reason today I looked. Maria, I am so sorry to hear that your Dad is doing so poorly. I pray for his improvement, and for strength for you and your family.

No, he is still in rehab, they scheduled vascular surgery for New Years Eve... so, he will not be home for Xmas. Hopefully the surgery wil help, but, it is a crapshoot at this point.

Thanks for asking.

Prayers from PA. It's tough any time you have someone in hospital, but especially at the holidays. Hang in there - my prayers for your dad, and especially the rest of your family. It's hard, but you are surrounded by love!

Well... the saga continues. He went from rehab back into the hospital with pneumonia. He is currently semi conscious. We don't know what to do.
