I got a call from Laura and one from Ally, a social worker with Fraser Health.\u00a0 I was out cycling and missed their call.<\/p>\n
He was in hospital today for a fever – Laura thought it best to have him brought in – and is back home (or should be by now).<\/p>\n
I called Ally back, and she told me that doctors really don’t know just how much longer Father has.\u00a0 I guess it’s her job to keep me informed.\u00a0 Laura told her that she keeps me informed all the time.\u00a0 This is true now but only since my last visit a couple of weeks ago.\u00a0 Before that, nothing.\u00a0 Nonetheless, I’m informed now.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Ally said he wasn’t getting treatment<\/em> per se but, rather, pain control to keep him comfortable for ”however much time he has left”.\u00a0 She tried to speculate as to how much time that was.\u00a0 I suppose many people as that question.\u00a0 If you’re The Lord, then yes you might give it a shot.\u00a0 But we really have no accurate idea.\u00a0 So I just told her that I knew he was slipping fast last time I saw him.\u00a0 I said that it only matters if someone is looking after him (Laura) and that he”s not in any pain, is comfortable.\u00a0 Time isn’t the important factor here.<\/p>\n He’s lost half his hair and is very quiet.\u00a0 Laura says he hardly says a peep, but Laura walked into his room at the hospital, and he looked directly at her.\u00a0 He knows.\u00a0 At home, Cash licked his leg, and he didn’t cuss at him like he didn’t know him like last time, so that’s good.<\/p>\n This is the first time Laura stated that he doesn’t have much time left.\u00a0 She has always been of the mind (outwardly, at least) that he’ll pull though … somehow.\u00a0 This time isn’t one of those times.\u00a0 He asked Laura to pray and tell The Lord to bless him.\u00a0 Only very few times in my life have I heard him refer to The Lord.<\/p>\n Keep him in your prayers, please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got a call from Laura and one from Ally, a social worker with Fraser Health.\u00a0 I was out cycling and missed their call.
