Things rapidly turning for the worse

Amilcar, I know that you are making this time with your dad a very special time and that when the time does come it will be filled with love and cherished memories

Dear Amilcar – I read your message about your Dad going downhill so fast. I know exactly how you are feeling, for in May, our family went through the very same experience. My husband entered the hospital, looking fairly well on a Thurs., no symptoms other than fatigue and low blood pressure. Friday evening after he ate a light dinner, he experienced pain (greater than a 10, so he said) and he grew more serious as days went on. His urine turned very dark brown and he could not eat much. By Wednesday, he was still somewhat alert and then shortly after that, went into a coma and never spoke to us again — passed away Friday. Nurses at the hospital could not believe how fast he went downhill. A doctor friend of ours theorized that his liver hemorrhaged when he had the extreme pain. Injections of the drug, Diladid, took the pain away, giving him peaceful rest at that time. God Bless you during this transition in your family’s life. Many thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Jean

Amilcar, I am so sorry to hear your Dad is loosing ground with this disease so quickly. Prayers of strength are coming your way. You have helped your Dad tremendously just being there for him. You are a true giver and that is what your Dad sees right now.
God Bless,
Jeff G.

Dear Amilcar,

This is a very special time for you as it was for us and yes, it will test you immensely but, I am positive that you will do everything in your power to have the attending nurses eliminate any pain or discomfort your dear Dad is experiencing, at this time.
I recall cherishing the moments of the present as my husband moved in to the next phase of his live and thus allowing me the comfort of knowing that everything possible had been done to beat this cancer, just as you have done.
My heart is with you and your family
