100 years!!! let's cheer him on...!

My daddy has taken a turn for the worse...
Not a normal 82 year old, a man that wants to live for 100 years...... As you all know he had another surgery and because of his diabetis....he lost a toe... Had a bypass and a vein replaced in his leg... 2 major surgeries... He had been recooperating very well till last week when he came down with a fever.
Well, his incisions are infected with staff infection and its looking bleak...He then dehydrated and now the fluid from the iv antibiotics has collected in his lungs and my dad suffered a heart attack (Congestive heart failure) on Friday night. All the while I sat helplessly by....... it sucks..... Im his dolly!!!
I am the daughter and the one making decisions, decisions that I don't like making. My mom is 80 and is house bound herself so I've been wearing myself thin going back and forth, but loving my time with DAD... They called me at 4:00 am Saturday and asked that he be put on a respirator. They also said I pretty much didnt have a choice because my dad wants to live and they are saving his life as best they can. He is fighting so hard to stay alive. When I went in to see him his bright green eyes smiled at me over the respiration tubes...now today he is tired and dissapointed that they have to keep him on the respirator til he can breathe on his own...... please..... this isnt just any old man....... he is so young.....Help me cheer my dad on so he CAN grow old...... please.....
I love you all and appreciate your thoughts prayers and any help you can give..... God bless....and know that I know that Jesus knows what is right for my DAD... His name is Bud..... he is a sweetheart......ree
Here are the lyrics to a song that reminds me of him...
FIVE FOR FIGHTING LYRICS
100 Years
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Go Bud Go!! Your baby girl isn't ready to let you go yet and you've got some great grandbabies who still need your sage wisdom, even if you ARE missing a toe. 
Ree, our prayers are with you and your family right now. I know it's hard, Reebanana, but you have to steal a little time for YOU through this too, ok? Where would your family be if YOU crashed? Your dad would spank you good if you let that happen. So, promise me....tonight is bubble bath night, with the door locked and the candle lit. From one GRAMMA to another, you have to promise me this. Are we clear on this, Crystal? I'll do the same, my candle will be lit for your dad, honey. My dad's name is Bud, too, by the way. How coincidental!
Go Bud Go!!
love,
Margi

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Tell him to write a book. George Burns wrote " How to live to be 100" and he did.

Ree,
We'll pray, too! Please tell Bud that we are behind him, and not to give up and quit! He has two grandsons that are fighting for us and they need another example.
As Margi said, please do take some time to take care of yourself. It is very easy to overdo oneself while being concerned for another.
Jerry
