MBird 298 Posted May 1, 2017 I was excited a few days ago hearing my surgery date was moved up to May 23. A few days ago my father went into the hospital to have a lobectomy. He is now in ICU on life support. They filmed him just out of surgery, barely unable to speak but he smiled and mentioned my surgery. I live out of state but hope he is still there on Wednesday when Im able to visit.I'm so sad wondering if he will be around, concerned if he is suffering, right now they medicated him so he cannot move. He's up and down. It feels like a lot on my plate. I feel heart heavy, that my personal happiness is also mixed with one of the most heartbreaking hurdles in my life.Thinking of my father, praying for his health, hoping for the best. He would want me to be healthy. I love you dad. 9 Sweet as peaches, BurntSugar, ProudGrammy and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MBird 298 Posted May 4, 2017 Sending good thoughts to you for your surgery and for your dads recovery. Thank you - they took him off life support yesterday slowly. He had his entire left lung taken out. We are all trying to remain positive and hopeful he can fight through it. He's a gentle soul. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MBird 298 Posted May 31, 2017 Update, my father has been diagnosed terminal after all he went through. Knowing he is happy with my own surgery and choice to have it, is such a huge comfort. I'm also at peace with his diagnosis. My only concern is for his comfort now. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
