Joy:

Im so sorry to hear your father is doing poorly. It sounds like both of you are going thru a terrible time. Maybe the doc could increase your fathers patch so he wouldnt need the percoset. It may make him more comfortable. Can he keep anything down, even anti nasuea meds?

Does your father have a peg tube to help with nutrition? That might also make him feels a little better to stay hydrated.

I wish you the best with everything you are dealing with right now. I will keep both of you in my prayers.
