Prayer Thread - SWAMPSNIPER [Sad Update # 322]
Private communication | 5/20/16 | nully

Posted on 05/20/2016 8:50:01 AM PDT by null and void

Mary Litwin.....Hey guys. Steve and Gerry and I met with the Social Services Doc at Flagler today, and she was so kind. It could have been a very difficult conversation, but that old fart know's his own mind, as well as anyone within listening distance all the time. The doctors agree that there is no chance that continued Life Support will get him any closer to ever coming off of the mechanically controlled assistance to live his life the way he wants to.They have assured me that he is not aware of what he is going through.

Today, I signed the papers to take him off of all forms of support. They will not be acted upon until his brother Ed can get there Saturday morning to say goodbye. If anyone wants to see him before then, I've instructed them to not limit visitation to just Family. He's the guy that taught me that Family is not solely based on a blood relationship. He is in MICU room 3057. When we let him go on Saturday, he will have his favorite camera with him. I'd take his cat and his guns too, but I think that would cause a level of drama that would seriously upset the natives, and while it would amuse the hell out of him, I don't think the rest of us would fare as well. That's one mean damned cat, just saying.

I want for him to wake up tomorrow, rip the tube out of his throat, and say "Go get me a burger and a chocolate shake. The food here sucks."

Yes, I am trying to add some levity to a really crappy situation. If you don't know my Daddy, it may seem flippant. I can assure you that it is not. My Army Drill Sarge was by no means the first person to ever tell me to "Suck it up, Buttercup. Drive On."

I will be posting this on his FB wall as well, so forgive me if you have to read it twice. Love to All.......this is from Mary Litwin Bob's daughter

For those who want to reminisce with some of Bob’s brilliant talent shining, I found some links to some of his work. His photos always inspire me.

Perhaps if other FReepers have some other links to his albums, we could post them.

Wish you’d posted that sooner. It would have been a heck of a lot easier tracking him down in the hospital if I’d known his last name!

Ezekiel ~ We can all take terns.

ladyjane ~ Just for the halibut.

Finally after ninety-seven long days adrift Captain Pertwee was rescued, mercifully ending his miserable diet of rainwater and strips of sun dried Haddock which was actually far ghastlier than it sounded what with George Haddock being his former first mate. —

Swampsniper — Been rooting for you since I saw this thread. The human body is an amazing thing, so just hang in there.

I miss your pings and I hope to be able to thank you again for all the peace you’ve given me with your perfect photos.
