David has been running a fever 104, which I has not responded to meds. they've tried ice packs and a bath. He is unresponsive fever wise and just to people. The nurse thinks he may have a few hours left.

    So sorry to hear this!

    I'm so sorry for everything you and David have been through. You've been amazingly strong. On some level, he knows you're there with him. I'll be thinking of both of you today.

    I want you to know how heavy my heart is for you and David both. I've prayed for you several times today and asked God for a smooth transition for David and for peace for you. I've asked that you feel at peace in your heart and in your mind that you have been the best wife and caregiver to David. You truly are an angel, David's angel and I pray that you will feel his love all around you all the time.
    With love,
    Billie

    Thank you all

    David is still here in body but that is all. His core temp is still real high, but his feet are like ice. He hasn't moved all day and his heart rate has been 155-165 all day. It is harder for me now that it is night. The doctor has signed the dnr order for fear he won't make it until morning. David now weighs 124 pounds.

    May God have mercy on David
    May God have mercy on David and come take him home, where there is no pain, nothing but love, and may you be given enough faith to know that David will always be with you. Though it may seem years to you that you are apart, to David it will be mere minutes. God Bless you Vivian, like Billie said you are an angel and David has served the Lord and the Lord will take care of him and you as well.

    Prayers and love and hugs to you,

    Rachel

    Vivian, My heart breaks for

    Vivian, My heart breaks for you and you are in my prayers. I will be praying that David has a peaceful passing. You both have been thru so much and he has fought a good fight and it is time for him to rest. I hope knowing that you have so many people here praying for you and caring about you makes this just a little easier for you.
