Ask him to tell the doctor that he can share medical information with you and your siblings--of course, your dad may say "no," but it is worth asking. Try to find out when the doctor makes rounds and be there so that you can ask questions--no knowing is worst--the imagination can dream up all kids of things that are far worse than reality. Is there a ROnald McDonald house near the hospital, if so, you should be able to stay there at little to no cost so that you can spend time with your dad without having to drive so far to and from the hospital.

Many, many

Whispering, i have to tell you that im happy to say that my brother will be taking my dad in once he's out.. but when he comes up here for a weekend visit he has two options. i do have a little "summer kitchen" that is insulated and fairly big. the lady who lived her before had her uncle stay in it many years ago. and then there is also a room in the house. not too big but it's off the dining room, and out of the way so it's not like there's lot of foot traffic to the room.

he doesn't have much stress now. the apt is gone, and his stuff is put away. i have a lot of it but my brother has everything else. My cousin also had me tell my dad he could always stay with him if need be. he's more than welcome there. so, he's got options.

I went to see my dad today. IT WAS A SHOCK! OMG. he had the divers mask off(for oxygen) he only had on the prongs in his nose. and he was talking..and i could hear him.. and he was EATING! and DRINKING! so that lifted my spirits right up. and he was in a good mood and happy to see the kids.. and that just floored me. i have good news to share.. not the same ol same ol. before we left i had the youngest near him and he wanted her on the bed.. well, she's a biiiiig girl and my dad is a little man now.. and not strong..i put her by his legs and he tried to lift her up on his lap.. and he baaaaarely got her up there.. but he wasn't even winded. lol. it was so funny seeing him trying to lift her..but he was determined to have her near him. she barely knows him and was a big leary but when he made kissy face at her she kissed him no problem.

and she waved bye bye.. and hugs grampa.

so today.. was a blessing and we are happy to have good news.. and he can have pj pants on and maybe even t-shirts. time to get out there and buy his news socks

lol. he said.. "go to menards, they got them cheaper" i said, "I don't care where i get them. as long as you got socks" lol.

you guys ever see house(the tv show) my dad kind of looks like House. in a wierd sorta twisty way lol. (my dad dont' have much for teeth though. LMAO. Oh, and im 28.. so i consider myself pretty young to lose my dad. i know there are lots out there that have lost parents really young.. my cousin was my age (last year) when her momma past away. she and her hubby took care of her mom till the end.

Thanks everyone for reading. stil gonna keep up on the updates

so he was out about 1 pm today. im gonna go see him tomorrow and drop off his clothes for him.. and if he puts up a fuss. im gonna punch him LMAO.

so, i took my dad the clothes yesterday.. i may have to return the pants. i think they will pool around his ankles LOL. he has lost so much weight. im glad i didn't buy underwear. that would have been too funny. He was in good spirits and laughing.. I am sure he's just happy to be out of the hospital where he can be alone when he wants to be

i asked him if he needed anything for when we come back. he wants rootbeer floats. he told me the rootbeer he likes. the grocery store where we normally shop didn't carry it. but later i had DH go to the one in town to get bread. and he comes back with 4 liter bottles of the kind my dad likes. inever even asked him to do it.

such a good man thinking of my dad

so we will be having floats on friday with my girls

plus im gonna make him lunch so he doesnt' have to worry

so i took him supper on friday night. he liked it. i thought i had posted on here bout it but apparently it didn't take. ugh. onto this week.

So, yesterday at work, my brother tells me at 4 pm(i get done at 430) that our gma is in the hospital. her kidneys are failing. so.. after work my DH takes me to the hospital where gma is awake but kind of mumbly. they say she is stable. for now. my dad woudl probably have to make a decision tomorrow(which is today) she's 86. today my brother tells me they sent gma home. not much they can really do. maybe 6 months to live..

last night, DH's gma goes to the hospital cuz last week she was having heart and arm pain.. and once again yesterday. they sent her home as well. saying it wasn't a heart attack. but i dunno.

so, this week is crap.. just like before.

on a positive note, my dad gained 5 pounds since friday. he had chemo again today. hopefully he feels ok this weekend. he wants us to come down and have a cook out. im hoping DH gets the bathroom done before then. im tired of not having a drain to dump water down. ugh. yes, we are once again without drains. LOL. stupid toilet was having issues, so we bought a new one, a new floor, linoleum, paint, stuff for septic pipes. yay. so maybe by the time we are done, we will have a partially new house LOL.
