After a year or so of a life no one would really want for themselves, my father-in-law passed away yesterday morning. Josh and I have been at the hospital for about a week or so and we spent much of our time trying to make sure the hospital abided by his wishes and we had him removed from the vent Friday morning for which Sol was eternally grateful. That whole day, he was so cute and so happy. He was glad to have everyone around, asking questions about family and grandchildren and was like a child when I'd say, "Sol, close your eyes and get some rest"....he would say like a child, "okay, I will". We feel so glad he had such a good day on Friday and as we left for the hospital Saturday morning, the call came from the doctor to get there asap as he was in respiratory distress but by the time we arrived (within 10 minutes, he was gone). They told us he didn't suffer which we are thankful for. The nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists and nurses' aides and social workers were awesome!
We went from crying to rushing to the mortuary, making funeral arrangements, calling banks, writing checks, etc., - no time to grieve really but I'm sure that will come! To our Little Church Group - again......you guys are awesome and thank you for the prayers! Love, Cindi
