BlackElk is correct. You made the only choice you could make. There was nothing you could do to save his life.

There was a chance he could have died (as he did) through the increased drip, but there was also a chance that he could have lived longer in less pain through the drip. Not even a doctor could flawlessly predict what would happen.

You did right by your dad. God bless you.

Thank you for your comments...you are right, ,the docs are never quite sure, what giving that morphine drip could have done...thankfully, dads doc assured me, that he would do whatever we wished for my dad, and that pain alleviation was of the greatest importance, ,and he would try to make sure, that dad did not suffer in pain...

Ironically, that same wonderful doc, a young doc, really, ,just in his 30s, got bone cancer a year after my dad died, and he died within six months...we were so very sad, as he was just a wonderful cancer specialist who had great healing skill, and great compassion for all of his patients....

Again, thanks for the comments..
