Thank you for your response. I appreciate you
Taking the time, and I respect your strength to not let it ruin your life. It’s with both sadness and relief that I share my Daddy did not make it. Too many complications the last 2 months and he was sent from facility to emergency room, officially moved to hospice the night of Aug 4th @ the Hospital. I arrived that night- 2 hr Drive and sat with my step mom and brother, thru the night. He never regained consciousness, they gave him morphine for pain. The following evening we sat with my Dad as he took his final breath. I’m heartbroken but I know he is at peace in heaven now. I pray you have continued time and enjoy every second that you have. Life is short... we are devastated. I’m staying with my stepmom again this week for continued support. I’m struggling but my Church (which is also my employer ) is supporting me. I have not returned to work. I want to stay proactive on the health aspects. I am worried some because I have migraines like my Dad did. But I realize I can’t live in fear. Is there a screening for the amyloid angiopathy? Is that possible? I’ve done some research with its link to dementia and Alzheimer’s- my Dad was the same age as both his older sisters when they passed from Alzheimer’s/ Early on set dementia. I’m aware though that God is in control when it comes down to it. But the reality of the migraines scares me some, they had them too... just not like my Dad. Unfortunately they said when he initially went in for the bleed- it had been going on for so long and then with the additional bleeds the last couple months it was severe damage that was not only irreversible but too much for him to recover from.
He was on blood thinner too due to heart condition but the continued brain bleeds just proved too much and he was struggling to breath at the end. My Dad was 71, he was a Good Man. He was loved greatly and is missed very much... He lived a full life.
Blessings to you!
