Hello Donna, Steve, cjfaust and everyone reading this,
Hadn't been on in a while and felt led to check in! Here's my update: My dear sweet Dad has come to the point where the transfusions are no longer increasing counts, congestive heart failure symptoms are increasing and he feels it is time to stop transfusions. We have spent much time together discussing, crying, hugging, holding his hand, and sharing all of our thoughts and feelings about each other over and everything else these last few days. While this time is certainly the hardest thing I have ever done, it will be one I will always treasure and I'm trying to look at it as a gift - how often to we get to say everything we would like to say to those we love before they pass? My dad told me he has no regrets! What an inspiration! He even walked out to get the newspaper this morning and is blessed to have no pain at this point. You are all in my thoughts, Donna, I'm sending prayers and love out to you and your dad too. I feel your pain and will join your quest to make a difference.
