 Everything In Its Own Time
Hello, L-O-T-V.
My wife's mother suffered a stroke on top of a heart attack.
After the therapy's and medications and constant monitoring, she remained paralyzed on one side of her body and lost the ability to speak.
L-O-T-V, your father is apparently in the place that can do him the most good. What can you do? What is in your power?
I would say understand that your fathers situation and condition is not of your making, be open and honest with him. He is your father, he will understand you and your family's fears. One of his jobs has been taking care of his family. This role will be changing.
After all is said and done, you and your family will need to help him adapt to the changes he will be facing.
You and your family have an opportunity to tell him how much you love him and to help take care of him by spending as much time with him as you folks can.
If he ends up in a full-care facility please monitor his care to make sure he is receiving the attention and quality care he will need.
Upon my mother-in-Laws passing on we felt relief. During much of her incapacitation, she underwent a lot of pain and suffering.
I wish your father, you and your family well.
