My father, who turns 84 next Wednesday, was diagnosed earlier this year with MDS, a group of blood and bone marrow disorders. Typically, this results in fewer red and white blood cells and fewer platelets. He had one session of chemotherapy and has had multiple blood transfusions during the last six months. Unfortunately, nothing has worked, and he now has terminal leukemia. We are looking into either Tabitha or Ascera Hospice programs and will make a final decision before he is released from the hospital tomorrow. He has not been given a definite time frame, and the decision has been made for no extraordinary measures; just pallative care. He may decline quickly depending on how well he can fight off infections, which will not be easy during this time of year plus he basically has no immune system left.
My mother and sister, who live at home with my father, need all the prayers they can get. I live an hour away, and will only be able to make the trip on my days off, so I imagine I will be making quite a few trips into Lincoln in the coming months to help them however I can, but would appreciate the prayers.
