Hello everyone this is a hard one to write. Dad turned 78 today as you all know. Me and Diana, Eric , Nichole and her 4 little ones went down to have cupcakes and ice cream with dad.
He is not doing well this week. He has gone down hill fast these last 2 weeks. He has been choking on everything he eats now, getting liquid into his lungs and who knows what else. I honestly thought that Monday and then again today I we were going to loose him in my arms as he was choking and unable to catch a breath.
Dad is very unresponsive now and today he said maybe 3 words none of which made any sense. he never opened his eyes today while I was there and his mouth most of the time just hangs open. He is very stiff and rigid now it is hard to get him to move or bend anything. like he is a board or something. If you were to ask me he does not have much time left I would say a week or two. acording to Hospice they said once he starts choking on his foods as well as his liquids then it usually is not much longer that they eat or drink anything. it goes down into his lungs and he will get pneumonia and aspirate. I know for a fact he is choking on his foods and liquids the nursed have commented on it as well as I have seen and herd it first hand. I Love you all and will keep you posted. Jo Ellen
