About Me  | Most Recent Posts Thank you for your prayers, my dad died 2/25/08 :(Posted Mar-02-08 15:38:03 PST Well, my dad couldn't fight the fight anymore... his body finally gave out from the many bouts in the hospital, the infections, dialysis, diabetes, the heart problems, stents, amputations... it was just too much. I miss him so much, I never thought it would come so fast, but it's still very new and surreal to me. Thank you all for praying for him, I know it helped keep him alive knowing people were thinking of him. He was a great guy. His pic is on my blog: www.aceosbyrosecom.blogspot.com. I appreciate all of my Ebay family. xo Hospital Time again for DadPosted Oct-18-07 12:29:43 PDT Updated Oct-18-07 12:30:08 PDT Thank you all for prayers for my dad... he is BACK in the hospital after being out for two weeks.... he fell again and thought he had a stroke, but it ended up not being one, but his heart was racing at 130 bpm and he also had a raging fungal infection in his legs... so they could not do the pacemaker... they had to do the paddles (AED) and stimulate his heart so that he could get a normal rhythm. He's been in for 19 days now and is on dialysis nearly every day. He has a lot of congestion in his chest and I worry about all those bugs that go around hospitals, like staph.... I think you are sicker when you come out than before you go in. I just pray he can get out soon. PT comes every day to work his legs so he doesn't lose muscle tone. I just don't want him to lose his legs due to the diabetes... he's so frail. Thanks for everything you guys... you really are so wonderful! xoxo Rose
My website: www.aceosbyrose.com Dad this timePosted Sep-11-07 17:55:59 PDT Dad went back in the hospital 2 weeks ago as he fell... they found his kidneys were in renal failure and he has a capacity of 15 percent function... so he needs dialysis 3 times a week for the rest of his life. He's depressed knowing that his life will never ever be normal again and he's 65... which is sad. I miss him as I don't live nearby and I know that he mus feel terribly lonely (he lives alone with his cat). I try to keep in touch as much as I can... but that's not always easy when he's in and out of the hospital. I worry about him constantly. I really do appreciate your prayers so much. Without Ebay I couldn't make my bills or meet great people... thanks again! Been a long timePosted Jul-26-07 06:51:49 PDT Well, it's been a while since I wrote on here. Mom passed away in February due to her lung cancer. I did get to see her in November after Thanksgiving before she passed. That was precious. Also went to visit my dad early last month. He is still dealing with the shortness of breath, COPD, the diabetic complications, and leg pains. He is stable though, so that's wonderful! If you could all keep them in your prayers, that would be great. Ebay ROCKS! Ebay is the best!Posted Nov-07-06 08:00:54 PST Wow, I never expected to have so many people reading my blog, I thought I would just fade away into Blogworld... but to have so many great people in the EBAY family praying for my family members is overwhelmingly emotional for me. I really thank you all so much. I am just amazed at how God brings people together. I thank Him everyday for the blessings He gives us. The internet is one of the biggest blessings going! Thank you again, I'm really so grateful! Thank you all!!!Posted Nov-06-06 17:38:52 PST Thanks everyone for your prayers and your thoughts... it is just so hard to be 'up' for your kids who don't understand what is happening and you feel like everything is spinning around you...Rick, you're right, one never knows when their time is up, but thank the Lord He is holding us close and has given us another chance to see each other someday. Thanks so much all of you... I'm so sorry others are going through similar situations. Karen, that must have been terrible for you... I feel like I'm going to explode when the phone rings, especially at odd hours... I just cringe at having to look at the digital display... but I know my parents are in His hands.... Thank you all again, you're the best! :) MomPosted Nov-06-06 15:41:52 PST Mom is doing the same, she had her first blood transfusion last week due to low blood counts. She was diagnosed with lung cancer (non small cell) in June and she is on her 16th round of chemo. She has taken radiation 22 times and the lung cancer is in Stage IV, it has metastasized to her adrenal gland and we are hoping nowhere else right now. At 63 she does not deserve this pain. She is a good person and has endured so much in her life. I just pray that she can beat this, but the odds don't look good for her. Please say prayers for her if you can. Dad should be home from the hospital by now. He's been in at least 4 times since this summer, with congestive heart failure and a heart attack, which required stents. He is really feeling low, very fatigued and can't sleep at night. He's 64. I can't believe how young my parents are and they are having such poor health. I need to go and see both of them (one is in Tampa, the other in New York) soon. I feel like I will have so many regrets if I don't. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm so depressed for them. I just want them to be comfortable, even if they only have a week left of their lives, that they do what they want to do and they are happy. Chemo sucks. |
