Betty (my stepmom) called this morning at 7. Dad's in the hospital again (was also there last Friday, the day after my mother-in-law died); will be there only one day (supposedly). He Got very sick on Sunday with diarrhea, has big gallstone but his health isn’t good enough for any operations so they have to stabilize him first. The medicine for a urinary tract infection he had last week didn’t agree with his kidneys and his arms and hands swelled up. Also has congestive heart failure and pneumonia. His mind isn’t good, either. He keeps telling the doctors he’s not in any pain but when he’s home he keeps complaining about being in pain. He’s also been agitated (this is not a good sign at all) and is losing interest in things he used to enjoy (doesn’t watch television anymore, etc.). Betty is completely exhausted and doesn’t know how much longer she can handle this. I urged her to look into hospice care and to ask their hospital for a referral.

I am praying that God will end my dad's suffering by taking him home quickly or healing him here permanently with no more health issues - that if it is God's plan for him to have more time on this earth, it will be a quality of life and not more suffering.
