Journal entry by Stephanie Rhea —
Dad has had a rough couple of weeks. He fell several times. We learned that the falls were because his heart was not strong enough to keep his blood pressure at a normal level.
Unfortunately, he is not a candidate for any type of heart surgeries or procedures. This knowledge, compounded with his long standing renal failure, led us to a hard decision.
Today, we brought dad hone from the hospital and began hospice care.
Dad would love phone calls and visits, although is is very weak and tired.
Thank you for the constant love and support during this difficult time.
Vicki, Mike, Stephanie
and families
