Update on dad 10.46pm

It's not good news. Dad has been moved to Coronary Care Unit. Technically it should be a 'downgrade', which in medical terms should be a good thing. But in this case, it's really grim. He may not pull through the night and I am not ready for that eventuality. All this happened all so suddenly. Everyone tells me to be prepared; I have called whoever I can remember. Though dad has moved, I am still at hanging around the ICU LOUNGE, coz it's quieter and safer.

The doctors are doing another dialysis on him. They can't do much either. It' really touch & go. I am not going to lie to anyone and say I didn't cry. Coz I did. A LOT. And I don't think it'll be the end.

I've sent EVERYONE home. I'm here alone. Just waiting. Hoping.

Stella, are you still at the hospital alone? I sent you an e-mail and subsequently a comment thru blog.. but note latter did not go thru. My prayers are with you and Dad. Stay strong. GOD will make a way when there seems to be no way. I know what you are going thru ... the width.. as in Aug 05 we went thru the same with my Mom. However the depth of your pain I admit is deeper. You are alone. Write me. I am here for you and love you. Hug from claire
