Wednesday they moved my husbands stepdad to hospice and they called all of us up there saying he was passing away to get there if we wanted to see him-we get there and he is out of it and the nurse is telling us the signs we will see when its about over-and he was doing a lot of them and quit breathing a few times but then would start up again and then he would come to and talk some and be funny Ben-the pastor was ther and was reading him his last rights and he was awake and then feel asleep and then woke up again and said "god damn" over and over which made us all laugh and his wife was like Ben shut up the pastor is here and your saying "god damn"...he had a lot of visitors and tht was good and he would go back to sleep and then he woke up again and ate a frigging twix bar...of coarse as soon as i walked in there I was crying up a storm-its just too soon for me to see all of this-i'll never be the same after my aunt jean-if i havent mentioned this lately-the fucker is getting out of jail april 3rd-another wife murderer on the streets... but back to Ben...
He made it thru the night on Wed. and we went back up there Thurs. and he seemed much alert and was awake and talking a lot and craving oyster stew-OMG thats all he has been asking for non stop for 2 days and how to cook it etc...and he has been funny as heck-the poor guy thanks he is still in the hospital getting treatments and everyone wo comes bye Ben says when he gets out tomorrow he's coming over to their house and he keeps telling my husband that they are going fishing this weekend and taking their boats out etc...he keeps acting like he's working with his tools in his hands and he is talking about his dad and thats a big sign before someone dies-its like they go back to their childhood days...
We went back up last night and he was way alert and funny as hell-my jaws hurt so bad after we lft from laughing so much-he is so dirty and so funny-but he is still talking about his oyster stew-they were going to try and get him some today-last night we were there until around 3am and they ordered pizza and he ate 2 slices which suprised us-his youngest son is 15 and he is such a big help with his dad its so sweet...everybody was getting loud laughing and he called his youngest son to get in the bed with him and he called my husband to get in bed with him cause he was going to beat their ass for arguing-lmao-they werent fighting they were laughing and it wasnt even my husband-Bens wife was like haha S you got in trouble by your dad and your like 47...me and the hubby took a walk around to stretch out our legs and go to the bathroom and my husband was like damn that mans going to live for another 6 months-sounds evil but it was a joke to lightin up the moment-but thats where the false hope comes in to play they told us he will get better so it seems but thats because their upping his meds which relaxes him more so he actually comes more alert but his days are numbered they gave him 3 to 7 days-they said either his organs will shut down or all his cancer is wrapping around his main artery which will cut it in half and he will hve a major bleed out and i pray that doesnt happen cause his kids are up there all the time-thats not somethng any of us wont to see cause the nurse said it will be quick...
That hospice is sooooooo beautiful-it looks like Ceasers Palace-and those people are angels who work there-anyone who does that for a living and the things they see everyday is just amazing to me and they are so kind and helpful...
we're heading back up there tonight to see what happens.....
