Dad was diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) in March of 2019. PBC is an autoimmune disease that affects the bile ducts in the liver causing cirrhosis.

Journal entry by Jayne Brouwer

We have decided to remove Dad from the ventilator. It’s what he wants and we want to honor his wishes. He is too sick to be able to move him anywhere far so we are just going to move him to another floor of the hospital so we can all be together with him. It could be days, it could be hours. We don’t know. Only God knows. But we are treasuring the fact that he can still tell us what he wants and that we will all be able to be together when he meets Jesus. 

They are preparing a room for him still so we don’t have a time yet on when it’ll happen but it will be tonight yet. 

Please pray as Dad makes his final journey home.
