Has fluid in his lungs. Fever over 100. Oxygen was in the 60s at home & got up to 90s with oxygen in the ER. They think the appendix is infected too.
As much as we disagree, he is the one who taught me to question everything & look on both (all) sides of every issue to figure out what both sides were refusing to discuss.
He will likely be healed up here soon, really my mother & family could use strength to care for him as he recovers. He hit his head a few weeks ago & hasn't quite been the same... Though still as stubborn as ever 😆
When it is time for him to go, it is his time. The family could really just use some support & blessings. Likely everyone in this board could use more during these times too.
Dear Heavenly Father, please be with HonestBobbin and her family as they care for her dad. Please let her mom get some rest while Dad’s in the hospital. In Jesus’ name we ask this. Amen. Tbh, it can be hard when the person you’re caring for is cranky or unappreciative. I pray that there are good times together, as well. Hang in there and take the time to rest, too. A good sleep and a lazy day can recharge you quite a bit.
He certainly tries his best to make good memories with grandkids & to show his love through, sometimes poorly thought out, actions. His heart is in the right place & he has been incredibly helpful often.
I am so grateful that he gave us such an amazing example of putting family first & that things can always be replaced. He gave up almost his entire inheritance when a couple of my uncles needed extra funds to help with recovery & medical bills for my cousins. There was zero fighting among my father's siblings outside of who could give their portions of inheritance away fastest to help family. All middle class, but all class acts as a family. I hear about how inheritance has torn apart friends familial relationships & it is just such a foreign concept to me.
My parents did well.
edit - LOL anon gender roles can be confusing without faces. My wife makes me sew because I only had brothers & my mother was determined to teach me life skills to pass on to my future daughters (cooking, sewing, art basics, etc...) I still laugh when someone realizes that I am the one who helps sew costumes instead of my wife. She couldn't make a bobbin thread correctly if he life depended on it. Her mother on the other hand does great upholstery work LOL
What an incredible family. Money is a tool. Your father and family are thinking right, in my eyes. I had to chuckle when I found out I “misgendered’” you. I typed my post comment and then changed it yesterday. My husband sews, as well. How is your dad today?
I just got the call that his inflammation is down & the antibiotics worked well. They are planning surgery to remove the stones later today.
Amazing how fast God works, eh? Praise be to Him!
