Joy, I am so sorry this is where your Dad's battle has wound up and I'm sure the decision to not put him through more treatment was a hard one for everyone involved. I hope hospie helps make your Dad's passing an easy one and that you have time left to share with each other everything that needs to be shared. Your mom is blessed to have you to help her through this time.

I just lost my father last fall and I know how hard that can be, no mtter how much warning you have. You are all in my thoughts.

Nelie
