Gone Again ....

My Dad has taken a turn for the worse, and I am headed out to Oregon for the next week or so. He is being checked into hospice so we're not exactly sure how much time is left.

  8. I'd say his next step is palliative care at this point. It's what my dad had after checking himself into hospital when he couldn't keep food down, or even liquids. He lasted about three weeks.
    Stay strong and just talk to him as much as you can, let him talk to you too. The two-way connection is needed now.

    May your father's passing be comfortable and peaceful. Remember to talk to him even when he no longer responds. Hearing is the last sence to go.

    Peace be with you and your family
