All of you know that not a day goes by where I dont think of you all.

The last couple months have been wicked for me. I just cant get over the fact that I lost my father from something that the DR's failed to look into knowing what type of patient he was. If he was at presby I know for sure it would of been done on the next day after being admitted. WHere he was they just let him sit there and struggle every day breathing and not doing anything about it but just upping his oxygen. They barely checked on him. When he went into his respirtory destress he was down for approx 2 hrs from when the heart montior last dectected a beat. That is very very sad to know all of that. When we spoke with the Onc dr he said that he was CANCER free he never got to celebrate it. He worked so hard in fighting this and being able to feel his fingers again and live a normal life its sucks to know that he never got to hear the words cancer free. The Onc also said that he responded so well with chemo that he didnt need radition. and also he gave him a 20% chance of it not coming back. That is great NEWS.. But he never got to live for that. I do look at it in ways that maybe this was a sign that it was going to come back and hit him hard somewhere else and he would have no life and We wouldnt want that at all.

All that I know is my daddy was taken away from way to early and I know it really wasnt his time. He was so happy and active on the 31st of march. Had to think 20 days later he was gone.

We are now in a lawsuit with the hospital to find out who was at fault and it looks like they are owning up to it with out a fight too so that is good news for my mom and I. My poor mother hasnt been able to go back to work just yet. She just cant get over this and either can I. We have been going to support groups and they seem to help a little.

I just wanted to pop in and say Hi and good luck and god bless to all..
