Last Tuesday evening we had to take my dad to the ER with a fever. He is a cancer survivor and is cancer free but keeps having problems with pneumonia. He was admitted to the ICU with VERY low blood pressure (69/40) and double pneumonia. This is his 8th case of pneumonia in the last 1.5 years. They got his blood pressure somewhat under control but the antibiotics are not doing anything for the pneumonia and he now has congestive heart failure. He was supposed to be discharged this evening to basically go home and live out his last few days. This afternoon, with 6 liters of oxygen, his O2 levels dropped to 71% so they are keeping him. It does not look good and we are pretty sure this is the end of the line for him.

Please keep him and my mom in your prayers and or thoughts. We know that he is not going to get well but we hope that he will be able to let go peacefully without too much more suffering. He knows where he is going and is ready to meet his savior.

Praying for your Dad and comfort in this time, comfort and peace for your Mother.
I am also praying for you Curtis for the strength that you need now at this time.
It is always a relief when we know someone is ready and at peace about going home to meet their Lord and Master.
 
Thank you giving us the opportunity to petition our Father on you and your family's behalf! Please keep us informed as we continue to pray.
I'm a newb here and am amazed at how openly people speak their faith. Thank you for sharing yours and your father's.
 
Curtis,
Been through the valley with my Dad in 2001 and now its my winter of discontent so I am very aware of your situation. There is comfort in the best wishes for you and your family right now in the sure knowledge of time and season will realise all things. For me it was dealing with Alzhiemers with my Dad in and out at 92 yrs of age etc.

Stay safe with strength is our prayer from 6000 miles away.

Kind regards Peter and Wilma.
 
Curtis, heartfelt prayers go out to your Dad, Mom and you and the rest of your family. These are trying times and they take every ounce of strength to get through them but you will.

On the 19 of this month it will be 5 years I went through similar situations with my Dad before he passed. It was the darkest day in my life and now I am going through dark days again with my Mom.

Curtis believe in the power of prayer because it does work and the Lord will guide you and your Dad. Miracles do happen amd we hope you come back to us and tell us of the miracle you witnessed with your Dad. Prayers are on the way.
