Terrible news... now worse

Just got off the phone with my wife.
She and her mother had to rush my FIL to Indianapolis to a specialist at one of the hospitals on Tuesday after a visit to his doctor here on Monday.
He had bad back pains and his eyes and skin were past the yellow color and more of a gold color. He barely had the strength to stand and couldn't eat. His doctor here said he had a blocked bile duct and it required a stint. Today they ran some additional tests and put the stint in, but said he had over 100 gall bladder stones and his only option is a transplant of his liver. It has almost completely shut down. He hasn't ever been a drinker either, just the occassional beer.
He doesn't even know about any of this yet, he is still out from the proceedure at 9 o'clock this morning. The doctor said his liver can't metabolise the anistesia.

You just can't take the day for granted, appreciate it.

Just wanted to get it off my chest and there isn't anyone around here.

I'm sure sorry to hear that, I'll be sure to say a prayer for him, and your family, it's hard to imagine the pain he must be in, one gall stone is plenty!!
 
Sorry to hear about your FIL. Hope that it works out, it is amazing what the body can do with some help. Sending energy and healing out to you and your family.
 
Thanks to everyone.

They drained 4-1/2 liters of fluid off his stomach.
He is still waiting for the doctor to find out what happens from here. I will update as I hear anything.
 
I'm not good with these type of things...

This is through a very sad heart. After a painful, hard and very long week, my FIL finally decided to lay his head back, without the coldness and shivering, completely comfortable with no more pain and give up his fight last night. I'm thankful that my wife and her mother were right there for him from the start to his last breath, but I regret that with my very best effort to get there yesterday, I missed him by approx. 40 mins. He gave me the best thing in my life... his only daughter.
When we got back today, my MIL had me go out to his shop and start his streetrod and let it warm up... for him. Even though it was for him and I was one of only a couple of people he allowed to work on his pride, I never once started the car or even held the key in my hand. I was honored to do it, but at the same time, I feel I betrayed or violated him in some way. My wife broke down in tears when she heard the roar of the engine as it came to life, since the only time that sound was ever heard, the man she most admired, her dad, was in his shop. Smiling.

We will miss you
 
I am so sorry.

Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant James. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light.

May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
 
I am sorry to hear of your Father In Laws passing, but now he is no longer in pain nor suffering. I will say an extra something tonight for him and for your family.

My heartfelt prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. May your FIL rest in peace. I do know the pain for it will be 4 years in June when I saw my Dad take his last breath and the empty feeling in your heart that follows. Your FIL is no longer in pain and is at peace. Take care and be with your family.
 
Such a sad and quick end. I feel for your entire family but remember he is surrounded by past loved ones and those he not seen for a long time now.

And I'm sure he heard the street rod get fired up, with a smile on his face.

God Bless.
 
Im sorry for your Loss Dozer and I am sure he was grinning ear to ear when he heard you fire up his car. You know that was no way a betrayal he trusted you with the most important thing he had, his daughter. He trusts you more than you may realize.
