    Mom just said he's not doing

    Mom just said he's not doing well. Won't let her leave his side. Nurses are getting anxiety meds. 

     

    Makes me mad, I could tell how anxious he was last week. What's the harm of giving him something for that?  

    I have panic and anxiety disorder so I know how bad those episodes can get. On top of everyting else he is going through.

    Dad was in some half panicked

    Dad was in some half panicked/half sleep state that looks to be the state that people go into when they are dramatically dying on movies and television. 

     

    It was a distrubing scene. I guess I can just hope that he is just extremely panicked.

    Oh, Lee, thanks for these

    Oh, Lee, thanks for these updates, but how heartbreaking for you all! It is hard to know the effects of medications and treatments. See if you can get him to talk about any happy or fulfilling memory to move his mind off his physical state. Remind him he's safe and under good care. But he may be feeling a tsunamia of chemical changes in the brain coming in waves. So many surprises and challenges in this journey!

    But as you can see, Lee, WE are here for YOU, for your dad and family~ Please let them know how many of us CARE and will walk this journey along side of you all!

    Keep taking care of you too! We've got your back!

    Healing Hugs, Jan

    Condolences

    to you and the family and your friends.  It's tough to lose someone...as of now, my hubby and I are the head of the family!  And cancer is a crappy way to go.

    Hugs to you all,
