He is now deteriorating: He can\u2019t eat or drink without getting aspiration pneumonia, so he has a \u201cpeg\u201d feeding tube in the abdomen; his liver and kidneys are beginning to fail; he has a lot of fluid in his abdomen, causing some difficulty breathing.<\/p>\n<p>\tAs a result, we had a long discussion with the hospital hospice liaison. Charlie, and I, decided that since these are vital organs for which there is no treatment for him, he would go on hospice and sign the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order. This means he will be kept comfortable, and we will both get the support we badly need. This was excruciatingly difficult for both of us, naturally. <\/p>\n<p>\tOf course, we don\u2019t know how long he has. It could be many months, or not.  I\u2019m not sure how I am going to get through this, a second time. <\/p>\n<p>\tAlthough all your prayers have pulled him through in the past, for which we are very greatful, now he needs prayers to see him through in comfort.<\/p>\n<p>\tThank you to all our family for your past support.<\/p>\n<p>\tGoddess<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> ACPA on June 25, 2019, 12:29 am<\/p>\n<div>My wife had a brother in law who had the same problems as Charlie and you have our prayers for both of you.
