We had a family meeting on Monday at Cedar Sinai where Dad is in the ICU unit. Dad looked good, better than he has been. His eyes were open and he was aware and present when I walked in, but I must say that I was suprised at all the tubes and needles connected to him.
They have him on a feeding tube to hopefully have him bulk up. If/when he adds more weight he will have better chances at being a candidate for the heart procedure that we were hoping he could have.
We all met with the head doctor and a social worker and Aunty Mimi also attended. It was a tough meeting....we talked about how this is Dad's decision and HE has the choice whether to go another fight for his life or if he wants to throw in the towel. The doctor spent a little time with Dad and Dad told the doctor he "wanted his legs back" and he wanted to hold his children's hands....
please continue to pray for my father- that he is able to gain weight and continue to get stronger if that is what HE wants. I have never seen someone with so much fight in him......what an inspiration .......or is it pure stubborness??? Love that guy....thanks!
