Lost Your Dad
Hi Jadon;
Thankyou so much for sharing;
My wife has been given months or maybe weeks. Yet her vital signs are ok.
Our doctor always was realistic in the prognosis. It prepared us and every day that my wife is still stable is a bonus.
Our doctor has also set up home care, hospice and nurses etc. This has helped to share the burden.
To all those with MDS don't give up sharing since it helps us make the decisions.
My emotions are always near the surface and it's hard not to cry Jadon.
My prayers are with you and your family to safely journey through this time of grief and at the end of that journey to be able to celebrate the life of your dad with the memories and that those memories would become part of you and make you even stronger.
Again, my sincere condolences.
