You're a lucky man to have a father like that. 2x^^^^^ Keep Revelation 21:4 handy. God bless you all...
"And God said, Let us make man in our image �and let them have dominion �and all the creatures that move along the ground". Genesis 1:26

Thank you all.
I was over there 3 or 4 times last night. I don't know if Mom finally got any sleep or not. She's worn out. Hospice started visiting over the weekend and has been great. Dad fell last night and couldn't get up. Just no strength in his legs anymore. I'm a pretty big guy but so is Dad. I could get him up but he couldn't stand on his own so I had a friend stop by and help me get him to his bed. He's in and out of being aware. One minute he's conversational and rational. The next he's not really there.
Called Hospice in the middle of the night when Dad fell. They had a nurse at the house within an hour who changed some meds to make Dad more comfortable, ordered a reclining bed to make it easier for him to sit up be more comfortable, and a wheelchair so Mom can get dad around the house. All really good ideas that we just never thought of. He ordered the bed and chair at about 1:00am and it's arriving this morning at 8:00. I'm really impressed with Hospice.
I suspect it will only be a few more days, maybe not that long. Your prayers are appreciated. Thank you.
