My Dad Has Graduated from this life about 22:00 Mountain Time. All: THX TONS 4 Prayers

Step-Sister's phone call | 7 Dec 2011 | Quix

[Quix]

My Blood Dad is dying in great pain.

He has broken his hip the 3rd time. His vitals are too poor to operate.

They don't even know if they can move him at all due to the great pain.

He has reportedly made his peace with God and forgiven everyone.

Please pray that he graduates from this life as painlessly and quickly as The Lord would wish for him.

Sigh. BIG SIGH.

This is mother's birthday and the day her father died.

Sigh.

I know some prayer threads are in this forum. If this is not fitting, please move it where it is.

I'm more than a little discomboobalated.

Thanks in advance for all the prayers and caring so typical of all of you.

[madmaximus]

I am so sorry. Prayers up. May God Bless him, you and all your loved ones. May God give you all the strength through this, especially at this blessed time of year.

[lysie]

My prayers are with your dad, you and your family.

[LibertyRocks]

Just saw this, Quix. I am so very sorry.
Your father, and of course you, and the rest of your family and loved ones will be getting some extra prayers (you’re always included in mine anyway...). What a difficult situation... My whole family sends you our love, and prayers.

Heavenly Father, we ask you to take away this man’s pain in his waning hours so that he may pass peacefully into your loving arms. Please show yourself mighty on his behalf, and let his sudden lack of intense pain be a testament to all of your kindness and mercy.

Father, please bring peace to this family during this difficult time as only you can bring.

These things we ask in the name of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Sending prayers and a hug to you and yours.

Prayers for you, your family and your Dad, Quix. I pray he has a merciful end to his pain and suffering. God’s grace to you all.

UPDATE ON MY DAD:

DEAR ALL,

I have to get final quiz and closing administrivia fully ready for my 16:00 class. So I won’t be able to respond individually today.

I just got off the phone with my Step-Sis:

1. Dad evidently also had a heart attack Sunday. The left or right part of his heart is not working much at all.

2. All the indicators are that he is in the advanced stages of dying.

3. They are willing to put him on a morphine drip. He’s evidently on the borderline—every 3-4 hours he gets agitated from the pain and gets a morphine hit without the drip. If they put him on the drip, he’ll stay at the hospital till he passes. The hospice can only handle other means of administration of morphine. My sister will press the point, if necessary.

4. I’ll stay here and have whatever eternal impact I can have the last session with each of my 2 classes with my students here—one today at 16:00 and one on the 13th—until after the 13th. He’ll likely be gone well before then. I’m not really up to making the trip, myself, as it stands now.

5. ALL Y’ALL’S PRAYERS TOUCH ME VERY DEEPLY AND HELP TREMENDOUSLY TO KEEP ME GOING. THANKS MORE THAN I CAN EXPRESS.

6. Sorry I can’t respond well today. Will try to catch up later this evening or tomorrow.

7. PLEASE KNOW I AM GREATLY MOVED BY EVERY RESPONSE AND AM ETERNALLY THANKFUL FOR EVERY MOVE OF GOD’S HAND SPIRITUALLY AND OTHERWISE DUE TO YOUR PRAYERS.

THANKS BIG
LUB [LOVE U BIG]
