My husband has since gotten past the puppy issue. His situation is worse, with last night being one of his worst nights. I just thought the puppy issue was bad. From now on each situation will be tough and it will depend on how we handle it as to how tough it will be. I do have faith, he even wears a mustard seed necklace and a cross. His preacher visited a day or so ago and explained to him about the mustard seed. His days and nights are starting to decline. I am so thankful that he knows where he is going. That he will be going to Heaven and his mom and dad are waiting on him. Thanks for all the replies. Oh yes Hospice has started and they are helping me. Someone is here so I'll close for now. Ms C
