Another One Left Today
Today I watched with envy another person get rolled out to the floor from the CCU. That means they are getting better. There are so many stories that end in victory coming from the CCU. Praise God!
Am I wrong to be envious? I am happy for the families and those who make it out. I just pray that God opens up heaven with an awesome miracle and allows my dad to be rolled out in a wheel chair to the floor.
Tonight dad was struggling for breathe and he looked up and said, "I don't think I'm gonna make it." That is hard to hear. My thirteen year old son was in there when he said it. Dad was really fighting it and just could not find any comfort. It must be a scary and hard thing to deal with. I know it is from our end of it. Brandon just said, "Dad, I think I'm gonna go out to the waiting room with mom." He then left. I know that was hard for him to hear, though he never said a word about it.
Thank you all for your prayers. I feel the presence of God in my life because of them. Ellen and I and our family love you all so very much!

Keith, that had to be so hard to hear from your dad. I'm so sorry that he--all of you--are going through this.
There is always hope. And, if nothing else, there is the time you are spending with him now, hard though it is. My dad fell into a coma while he and the rest of my family were away on a trip. He never regained consciousness and I have always felt a little gypped that I didn't get to share any last moments with him while he was awake.
As hard as it is for all of you, what an amazing comfort for him to have you there. God bless you all.

I was with your mom that day that she talked to you. I remember thinking how hard it would be to not be there, but knowing that you gave her that release was an awesome thing to witness. It was though she was at peace and went to be with her Father so easily. I think that I am more ready for that than I am to sit and watch him suffer.
