WHAT A ROLLER COASTER

1 minute read time.

Just an update on dad. He went into hospice last monday and by friday he wanted to go home. The docter didnt want him to as he was still very ill. So we respected his wishes and took him home but on Friday night hewas sick and up most of the night bearing in mind he has not slept for 5 days and they have given him so many pill and he is still fighting the sleep. He is so exhausted. Dad decided after the docter came out early saturday morning that he wanted to go back to the hospice. Things have moved very quiclkly in the last week. Dad now sleeps alot now as is more peaceful. I think he was in so much pain before. My sister is arriving from South Africa today so that will be good for mum and me but I think she will struggle when she sees dad.I have gone through so many emotions in the last week. Where does all this strength come from. If dad is sedated and is peaceful then im happy. But I am hoping if tracey arrives he wakes up. I dont know Im just talking to myself.

    hi teresa

    i hope dad is able to wake to see your sister, but you know what they say, even if your dad doesnt appear to be awake, the hearing is still a strong sense - so i'm sure he will know your sister is there.

    i'm sure most of us keep on talking to our loved ones even when they are not conscious, my dad often smiled at things i said to him. i know what you mean.

    i hope he remains painfree,and i send my love and strength to you all.

    love and hugs, C xxx
