My Dad had a brainstroke in 2006. It was aggravated by diabetes and became thinner. Ever since that first stroke his health deteriorated. In February this year he can not stand by his own anymore and had difficulty in speaking although he takes his medicines and visit his doctors regularly. On the first week of July his right hand and foot became limp and can not utter any word at anymore-obviously he suffered another stroke. The doctors can not do much to improve his condition. He is continuously deteriorating...we are preparing ourselves for the worst. We will be giving him a great party on the 21st of July.

Desease is the most common enemy of human.
It's like our time of taking care of our body
for a long time would only lead to nothing. When
plague by deseases. So sad, so true. We invest
so much money on vitamins, health foods and other
health related products. And in the end just one
desease will put an end to all our efforts.
I'm sorry about your father's situtation. Give him my
best wishes on his birthday.

Thank you very much. His senses have deteriorated so much but I think he still hears everything because he responds by doing gestures with his left hand. I'll whisper your greetings to him.

I really hope he does better than what you say has been happenng with him. It's sad to know he's up there in age and where his birthday is Monday of this week I truelly hope he holds out for that and as long as he can for both himself and you all. Just know that when it is his time to go he will be going home to heaven and won't have to suffer anymore. Please do wish him a Happy Birthday from all of us here. My dad is 75 now up their in age and I made it very clear to my family not to tell me when he dies for I had a hard time dealing with my mom's death when she died back in 1987 and I was 14 years old then. She died of sirosis of the liver. I'm 34 now and not wanting to lose another parent whom I love very much I would just rather him go home to be with god and my mother when it's his time to go. I hope you get to spend many more days with your dad and know he'll always be with you no matter what even after it's his time to go. Take care and hang in there I'll keep him in my prayers.

Just like you, it's truly difficult to see a family member in a situation just like this. We are all trying to be strong. I appreciate your prayers. Thank you.

My father in law suffered the same fate 6 years ago and was hositalized for 2 months until he succumbed to it. he was the one who removed his oxygen maybe because he did not want to suffer anymore.

i hope your dad will be able enjoy his 72nd birthday.

We'll make it sure he will enjoy his birthday. We have accepted his fate and preparing everything for the day. Your hope is what we're working out.

Thank you Hatley. You're right -it's so heartbreaking to see someone that you love is suffering yet you can't do anything much to help.
