T.E.A.M. Mom! | | Well I don't usually ask, but I am asking if you can please keep my dad, my family in prayer.
I have been so upset for the past 2 months, thinking my dad was ok, he was in remission from his disease, than bam! Why it keeps coming back, the drs don't even know?
He spent another few days in the hospital last month, almost every month since Nov/Dec and he has to be in insolation which makes it even worse.
He is so depressed. He has aged so much in the past few months, it is really breaking my heart. I don't have a tight relationship with my dad, but, seeing this, well is just too much.
I can not cry anymore, I am all dried up. I pray constantly that whatever road I will have to face, I will be able to, but, the reality of my dad being this sick, out of nowhere, well I am sure you can relate.
Losing my grandmother so suddenly last summer really ripped me up, she was my constant companion and confidant my whole entire life. Cripes I went away when I was just 3 for the first time with her down the shore and always went out with her, shopping in NY, to her job, you name it.
I know death is apart of life, living, but, when you have had such an up/down relationship as we have had, you regret the times you had fought, said horrible things, even with a sorry, pat on the back, hug, whatever, it still hurts.
Well I am pressed for time.... I know, when aren't you, LOL Please, when and if you can, lift my father in prayer. The road he is on is hard, he is facing something he was not prepared for and I want to be able to stand strong besides him now in what time we have.
Thank you from my heart, PatriciaPrivate Reply to T.E.A.M. Mom! | | Apr 21, 2009 1:05 am | | re: Dad is still sick-prayers | # |

Charles DeJesus | | Hi Patricia,
Yes, my prayers so do go to Dad; and I feel the
presures of a loss all to well. I've lost a few
loved ones here in the last few months; it's kept
me out of the pub for a little while. We all try
to deal with the uncertain loss, or even the untimely
loss, in our own way; should they come, remember what
was closest to their hart. You. As hard as any loss
I've ever had, they where always thinking of me.
I guess that's why God loves us all.
He's with you and Dad, and my thoughts and prayers
are there too.
Love,
ChasPrivate Reply to Charles DeJesus | | Apr 22, 2009 1:34 am | | re: re: re: Dad is still sick-prayers | # | 
bill vanderbilt | | Hello Patricia
I am so sorry to hear about your father. It doesn't make it any easier when the Dr's don't have answers for you. Sometimes we just have to accept what ever comes our way and not try to understand it.
I know that you and your Father haven't been real close over the years but, I am happy to see you putting that behind you. My father and I were the same way. We barely got to know each other and then he was gone. There are still things in my heart that I wanted to tell him but there wasn't time. Take this time you have left with your Dad and cherish it. You may find out that he has some regrets too and he might want to clear his conscience a little.
Hey, I didn't mean to preach. Just enjoy what time you have left with Dad and let him know that everything is OK.
I will keep you and your Dad in my thoughts and prayers. I know Mom could use some comforting about now too so I include her and the rest of the family in there too. Take care Patricia.
May a smile follow you to sleep each night
And be there waiting
when you awaken.
Sincerly, BilldaddyPrivate Reply to bill vanderbilt | | Apr 22, 2009 10:41 am | | re: Dad is still sick-prayers | # | 
Ken Lee Bringing you more customers | | Patricia,
Your dad and your family will be in my prayers. Don't lose faith. God is in the healing and restoring business. In Aug/08, I coded 4 times, spent 3 1/2 weeks in ICU and critical care, spent the next three months in a nursing home and now I'm here.

Gery DiMarco | | Remembering you all in our prayers here.
I understand the frustrations. My dad has his up and down days since a Whipple Procedure in October after discovering a malignancy on his pancreas.
I'd been a long 6 months and despite the extensive surgery it looks like he'll have to continue chemo from here out which is kind of a kick in the head to a guy who has always been hale and hardy.
May the Spirit infuse his will to survive and guide the phyiscians who tend to him.

T.E.A.M. Mom! | | Thank you all so much. It is not easy for me to be so open, well about these sort of things, I feel like I am being weak or not trusting in GOD.
Sometimes, though, this wonderwomen gets abit bruised and the world seems to be sufficating me. When you are always so strong and can handle everything thrown at you (as some think), you begin to think you can.
For the first time in almost 5 weeks, 2 hospital stints and 2 proceedures, my dad went out and I with him! I never was so happy to see him up and about. Although we have had some really bad times, I was glad to see him feeling well enough to move about.
The drs said the last procedure showed that a flap down deep into the esophogus is collasping from years of acid erosion (not treated or detected sooner) and that is what is causing the initial lack of air to his lungs.
I am not sure what road they/dad will take... He has to be careful due to the heart and if his lungs are so weak now and basically shot from years growing up with sickness, they may just wait it out.
The cooler air has been wonderful for him! He sat outside the other day for hours, listening to the radio, not once did he cough, lost breathe, it is simply amazing. Whatever road he is facing, he knows we will be there for him and will love him regardless.
It is just hard when your parents are basically healthy your entire life, except for an occassional cold here and there. To see them both so sick and not able to enjoy the fruits of their hard life, working all their lives, putting a roof over our heads, it is depressing at first.
Well, I am sorry to hear about all your own sickness and health with family. I will keep them all in my prayers. I have to admit when I shared that I was crying I felt like slapping the daylights out of myself for being so honest? No, I have no problem with speaking my mind, LOL, just being so vulnerable.
Take care everyone, thank you again for being such a wonderful extension to my family! I miss you and care for you all so much! (((( Patricia ))))Private Reply to T.E.A.M. Mom! | | Apr 27, 2009 8:45 pm | | re: Thanks/Update re: Dad is still sick-prayers | # |
Gery DiMarco | | Patricia wote:I have to admit when I shared that I was crying I felt like slapping the daylights out of myself for being so honest
Sister Patricia,
I've never known honesty to be something that deserved punishment.
As for vulnerability... author Madeleine L'Engle wrote, “When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.”
Stay strong...and honest. Thanks for your kind words as well.
