Linda - Thank you for your response. Your family is definitely in my prayers now. We are doing everything we can for our wonderful husband, father, son, brother, uncle - Last night we had a family "sit-in" where my lover and husband told us that he was ready to go. It was hard for our children, but we spent time hugging and sharing stories of our good times together. Today he is peaceful and lethargic. He is refusing all meds and liquids (he hasn't eaten solid food in a week). We will help him the best we can. We are praying every minute. This is unchartered territory for us. Stay strong, Linda.
