Tick Tock

Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour.  Our days are getting shorter as our hearts are getting sadder.  We know what we are soon to be faced with, and no matter how much you prepare, we are still not ready to say good-bye.  I feel as if my body is numb.  We have finally came to the moment in dads sickness where we had to prepare the kids for the inevitable.  Kids are not stupid, they know whats going on but it has now been confirmed.  Dad's health has taken a severe drop in a matter of just days.  Hospice came in and began care.  He was brought a bed, wheel chair, potty chair and whatever medication he will need to stay comfortable.  The bed was delivered just in time.  He is pretty much confined to bed now.  Left arm (the one he broke) is no longer functional and the right arm is not far behind.  Eating has became a chore within itself.  Mom helps him because he shakes so bad he can't make it to his mouth.  His medications make him very lethargic.  I will give him the fact he has lost his sense of humor.  Today when I asked him if he need something to drink he said "whiskey" - "southern comfort", and asked mom to get naked.  LOL....  Crazy guy.  Before I left I was leaning over him talking and he rolled his eyes back in his head and blinking his eyes lashes really fast.  Of course my eye brows went up with a "oh crap" thought when he opened his eyes and laughed.  "Damn it dad, Don't do that to me"  hahahaha...  So yep, still got that sense of humor.  Please keep our family in your prayers.
