So, after going home for a little bit, the kidney doctor called Mom. Dad's kidneys are shutting down. He needs dialysis, but the doctor doesn't believe Dad's body can take it. So, Mom made a tough call... no dialysis.
With that decision, we asked if we could come back to the ICU and stay with Dad. Mom promised to be by his side and I don't want to leave him alone. Two things he worried about before being admitted; sleeping because he was scared he wouldn't wake up, and going to the hospital because he was scared he wouldn't come home. The other thing that has bothered him is the fact that his father passed away at age 63, AND Dad is 63. Well...
So we are here. It's so hard to watch this tough guy who used to make me say he was "The Meanest Man in the World" struggle to breathe. Cancer SUCKS!!!
Much love!
Krista
