Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 My hand on your shoulder, my friend. I'm trying to think of something supportive, intelligent, informative and inspiring, but I can't think of anything remotely helpful. I do know this: Saying nothing would be the very worst thing I could ever say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shapiro Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 Update. Dad had a remarkable turnaround over the last month. He's down to dialysis 2-3 times a week. He can eat very soft food, though has a PEG (I think that's the term) for feeding. They undid the tracheostomy. In short, in the last month we've gone from death watch to getting discharged to a long-term care facility. Thank you everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Doc, know that a bunch of us are there for you and the family. If you can do it it without complicating things, give him a hug. I truly would like to hug my parents and my wife again, so if you can pass that along it will make a difference. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shapiro Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 I owe you all an update. It's been a long journey. Dad is off dialysis and out of the long term care facility. He's home! A visit will be coming up soon. We've had some phone calls, and some video calls. He's doing very well and his spirits are high. Thank you all.
