Success after IF
Sorry to be a PW: Update on Dad.
Since HS asked, I'll give you an update. I feel like I'm constantly just coming here with "woe is me" stuff. I don't mean to be Debbie Downer. Really.
Dad has less than a month. He's declined very, very quickly. The last dose of chemo pretty much did him in. He doesn't seem to be in much pain right now. Mom is staying on top of it so that's good. An x-ray last weekend showed that the chemo did nothing for him except make him worse. The cancer continued to grow while he was taking it.
So it's very sad. We're planning the funeral and Hospice has come in to help Mom, as well as my aunts are taking shifts so she's not alone. My brothers and I go over in the evenings during the week and spend most of our time there on the weekends. He still recognizes us and can tell us he loves us, but he's incredibly weak and fragile.
So that's the latest. Sad times here, but we're strong and we're making it through. I cry my way to and from work each day since I'm by myself and can think in my alone time. It's therapeutic. :-)

My heart is breaking for you guys.
I'm glad Hospice is on board.
Praying for peace for all of you.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
I'm so, so sorry
It's so hard to go through this. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I am so, so sorry. I don't even know what you're going through because I've never lost a parent, but my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. My love to all of you as you go through this time.
I hope and pray they are keeping him comfortable. What a blessing for him to be surrounded by his family during this time. Sending you many hugs.
Just wanted to give you hugs.
