So much has taken place since Saturday, I just can't emotionally write it all so I am going to make it quick.
1-Sunday my Dad received Dialysis again - did not go well at all. He became very agitated during the session. She was able to complete about 2.5 hours. As soon as the dialysis was over she taped up the catheter and my dad immediately ripped it out, blood shot everywhere.
2-The Nephrologist came in today and said she saw no change in my dad's kidney function and she did not see any reason to place the catheter back in for more dialysis.
3-She said at this point with all that has transpired he has about 10 days left.
My mom will speak with Palliative Care in the morning to discuss a DNR order and to talk about an in-patient Hospice program, the Odyssey House in Conroe.
The most gut wrenching conversation I had with my dad today is he asked me "Did that lady come her to pass?" I said no. He then opened his eyes really big at me and asked well is it me? And I had to tell him yes. And he just said "Oh no, Oh no." It was the most heartbreaking sound I have ever heard from my father. I just can't even get it out of my head, I can just hear it playing over and over again.
I know I have said this over and over but he just does not deserve this. He has been a hard working man his entire life and he should have been able to retire with my mom and do the things he wanted.
I can't understand why this happened to him and I will never understand it...period!
