Day 31
We're still waiting. The time between his breaths have gotten farther apart.
But he's still going. He always been a stubborn one.
We all didn't sleep well. It was hard to find a place to sleep. And now two new nurses who have never actually nursed dad are giving us problems for sitting outside his door.
Too bad- I'm not leaving.
Should be anytime now...
PS; mom's been reading all the comments and constantly asking to see if more have been written.

Day 29
The nurses aren't putting dad's numbers up on the whiteboard across his bed anymore. Jason asked why. Mom said there was no point.
Dad's on a lot of morphine right now so he's out of it. Not like yesterday. He was awake and smiling and eating and talking. Today's not the same.
Mom called us at 7:30 this morning because dad was asking to see us. So now we're here just waiting.
I'll be posting funeral and shiva information here when the time comes. Keep checking.

Day +28 the beginning of the end.
Today was the day we were supposed to see if the bone marrow was working.
Today we had a family meeting.
Today we were told that despite our efforts things could not go on.
The doctors stood above my fathers bed as he informed myself, my mother, my brother, and my Bubbie that the chemo had been too strong and had destroyed his liver and kidneys. It had gotten so bad that there was nothing more they could do.
Now we just have to make sure he's comfortable.
He's still awake and alert enough to know what's going on. He made sure to tell my brother and my mother and I how much he loves us and to tell us his wishes.
He's also alert enough that he's asking to see this post.
