Prayers needed! My dad.... 6/9

[DPphanGP1]

Last Friday, my dad was admitted to the hospital because of fluid build-up in his legs, belly, and lungs - Keep in mind he has major heart problems and diabetes. The doctors regulated his meds and blood sugar within 24 hours, but now his kidneys aren't functioning properly (only at 30%) and his heart is very weak.

Mom said he'll be coming home in a week, and will probably need dialysis! I'm very afraid that his life will be ending soon, and this is something I'm NOT ready for!!!!

2 weeks ago, my mom & dad moved in with me because they lost their house. This time has been very stressful for all of us, and now this gets added to it! I'm scared!!

I know that I need to hand this one over to God, but it's not easy. I know that Dad has struggled for a long time, and I think he is ready to let go, and not live with the pain and suffering anymore. I also think my mom is wanting that too, as she has seen him decline and knows there's nothing she can do to help.

Any prayers for peace and healing would be appreciated. I'll try and update when I can.

Thanks phriends! ♥

Gretchen,

I am so sorry to hear that your father isn't doing well. I'd be just as scared as you are. I will begin praying for him, your mother and you as well.

Thanks for the prayers! I saw dad tonight and he was much better than I expected His blood pressure was better, and he's lost 7 pounds in 24 hours - so the meds are working! He was a little confused/loopy (from the meds) but in good spirits

One day at a time.
