Thanks to everyone who replied. My father-in-law has now gone over a week with no food and is now drinking very little liquids. He is at home with Hospice coming every other day. He does not want to go to the hospital nor does he want an IV. I am so worried that he is suffering, as he is now talking out of his head and cannot stand on his own. He is so weak that it takes several people just to get him out the bed to go to the restroom. I know God is still in control and He will take him home when it is his time. But I can't stand to see him suffering. He is such a proud man and for his children to have to help him to the bathroom..... well, I know he would not want this. Please, everyone, keep our family in your prayers. He has so many people that love him and would want him to stay here if he were getting better, but no one wants to see him suffer like this.
