Visiting my dad

Today, my Dad took another turn for the worse.. he is extremely week and can barely talk. They are put in a catheder for him a couple of hours ago, and it was apparently really horrible - so they really doped him up good.

It was hard today to talk to him and almost beg him to eat and drink. He is in pain - though on painkillers. Each day he withers away a bit more. His eyes have a hard time focusing and when awake, he will just sort of stare.

I read to him a bit out of the newspaper, but that too was hard. I can feel we are getting closer and it breaks my heart. Today the kids got to each visit for a couple of minutes, and thankfully - he was awake enough to acknowledge each of them!
