Title: I got bad news today!
Post by LadyElaine on Feb 13th, 2005, 7:22pm
My mom was told and she also feels that my dad won't be with us much longer. The doctors say a month at the most. I am ok right now. Mom is also. We are all trying to be prepared if there is such a thing. I plan to spend as many days as I can with my Mom and Dad in the coming weeks. I will be ok but I am worried about Mom and how to explain it to JD. JD my grandson loves my dad a lot and he will miss him. JD still wants to know when our dog taco is coming home from heaven. He is just to little to understand, that Heaven is home, and you don't co e back here. If you got some prayers send them to my Mom and dad. They need all they can get.
OK before I cry I better sign off. I am going to watch a movie called "shall we dance " !

I'm so sorry, Elaine. My prayers are with you and your family. There are many excellent books available to help prepare little ones for the loss of a loved one. Perhaps you could read them together.

Thanks ya'll ! Deveny and I just ordered three books for JD. Maybe it will help us all.
Also want to watch a great love story? you got to watch Shall we Dance. Buddy and I were both in tears. Maybe it was just the mood we are in that made us cry. It will make you smile to. There is one guy in there when he puts on his wig he looks like Jonny.
I am ok so don't worry about me. I find it easy to talk to you guys you know.

Post by LadyElaine on Feb 14th, 2005, 4:09pm
Well I did not go to my Moms today. It rained here today and that means my brother does not work, so he took Dad to his Doctors apointment today. They have put him in the hospital again. The doctor said he did not know what more to do, that he would call more doctors in and see if they can come up with something. I am just lost I don't understand the resoning here by doctors at all. Can't they just give him something for his pain and let him go. Why must they keep on I mean he has been through hell and back. Oh God the hell my Mom is going through. She so blasted stuborned she doesn't want any of us kids at the hospital. If Dad passed on I can just see her driving home. If any of us show up Mom will be mad. What does a person do. Just sit here and cry, nothing more to do. OK I am not handling this. Have you ever seen that movie wit Sally Fields in it where her daughter died and at the funeral she said she was mad and just wanted to hit something.I want to tear the whole damn house apart !

Post by Frank_W on Feb 14th, 2005, 4:16pm
Elaine, I do understand what you mean, and you are thoroughly justified in feeling the way that you do. It's a little unfair of your mother to forbid any of you to be with your father right now, though I'm sure she has her reasons.

My very best to you.... You are in what seems like such an impossible situation, and know that I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and I know that everything will work out to the highest good for all concerned. [smiley=hug.gif]

Title: Re: I got bad news today!
Post by Margi on Feb 14th, 2005, 4:34pm
Honey, GO to the hospital anyway.  Your mom's probably being a mom and trying to protect you "kids".  She probably needs you more than she realizes and when she sees your face there, she'll hug your neck like never before.  Go, Elaine - you'll be sorry if you didn't go and should have been there.  I doubt your mom would cause a scene and have you thrown out for wanting to visit your dad.  Sometimes we moms don't know what's best for us and, we daughters sometimes try too hard to obey Mom's orders and miss the hints that there are times we shouldn't.  I think this is one of those times, TS.  
Hugs and love,
Margi

Elaine just called.  Her heart is breaking.  She is my dear friend and I love her but I can't find the words to really comfort her right now.  She is a strong woman and she'll get through this but it's so very hard.

I think she's going to go to the hospital.  I agree with you all that she should.

Elaine.....we love you and we're holding you close in our hearts

Love to you and your family,
Jackie

Elaine - I agree with Margi - if you want to be at the hospital then you should go.  I'll bet if you do show up - she'll be glad you're there, even though she'll tell you that you shouldn't have come.

Elaine, your a Mom too and you know the lengths we all go to in order to protect our kids.

Hugs hon - wish I had words that would make it easier for ya.

Carol

Elaine honey....just go.  Margi and Jackie are right.

You will be sorry later for not saying goodbye to your Dad and letting him know how much you love him.

Your mom will get over it, but you won't.

Love to you sweetie....

I can understand not wanting so so friends and most neighbors around. I did that when my mom was in the hospital. We had a private funeral and some of them have never forgiven me. Too bad but I was absolutely right. My neighbors would have made it hell for me because a few of them think epilepsy is some kind or retardation. Screw 'em.

Still.... it would seem that family and very close friends should have some kind of access. She needs that kind of backup. Keep at them Elaine. You know how to deal with people if anyone does.

Last night arond 11 pm I went to the hospital. Mom and Dad were both asleep in his bed ;-)! Mom likes to sleep with him so she can feel if he trys to get up. He is bad about that. I looked in on them then sat in the waiting room. About 12:45 I heard Mom talking to a nurse and steped out and went and got her a coke and she and I talked a few minutes. Dad was asleep I could not tell a whole lot about how he was. What keeps happening is his lung fills up with fluid and they keep having to drain it . I got hme about 3 I think I don't know really I just fell in bed. I dson't even remember the drive home. I slept late and I am ok. I am all cried out now. I just needed to cry and vent a little. Thanks for letting me and all your emails phone calls and post and vibes and prayers. Some times just typing , talking makes a person feel better you know. Thanks for listening. If any thing changes I will let ya'll know.
