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

Lord Jesus Christ, our Healer and Savior, praise be to Thee.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

“Waiting with baited breath,”

“baited” in this context, should be, “bated”. Sorry and please do not take offense. Those particular words and the misuse of same are one of my pet peeves. ;-)

I had sushi, baited breath might be correct...

No.

When fishing I do not put bate on my hook. I often use bait. And wait with baited breath, for a fish to bite. Bait. Bait a hook. Bait a trap.

Sally, having swallowed cheese
Directs down holes the scented breeze
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.
