My dad is currently at MD Anderson. He was ready to fly out last sat. but wasnt able to wake up in his hotel room.

He has been on a vent since then, he is off sedation since Wed., and still wont wake up. We will find out Monday from cultures, what is causing him to not wake up.

Cancer has spread to his brain.

His wife is there all alone, bill is racking up at the hotel. He does have military coverage but wont reimburse till later.

I went last weekend for five days but I had to come back to work.


Feeling hopeless
