I'm so sorry. I will be thinking of you, your dad, and the rest of your family.

That is a beautiful picture. She looks so happy with him. If you haven't printed that one yet, I hope you will! I love digital cameras, but their downside is that so many good pics sit on computers forever and never see a frame. That photo is so beautiful, it deserves to be on display.

I am so sorry.

I didn't see your hospice thread, but my mom is a hospice nurse, so I know a fair amount about it. My mom's advice would be to get a hospice consult soon, while he is still feeling good, and have them give you their opinion. You can get on hospice 6 months out, and there are a lot of benefits to being a patient, even if things are not imminent. And even if he "fails" the eval (hopefully!) and cannot become a patient yet, it will give you the info you need to make decision in a month of a year or whenever he needs it.

Thank you. We are going to look into it soon. One hurdle has been taken , care of (my pharmacy post) and we have some more issues dealing with stupid family members, but we will definitely be getting some consultations. It is hard to get over the preconceived notion of what hospice is though.

I have a tween. Your antics don't scare me.
