Waiting...still

Today has been a bit of a roller coaster emotionally. We thought we were losing Dad this morning. He had some of the signs. We gathered together. We hung out together in the room. This afternoon his breathing seemed to be more labored than ever and many breaks in breathing. Tonight his blood pressure is 130/86 and he is breathing at a more steady rate but very shallow. The doctor doesn't feel like his passing is imminent but maybe within the next 3 to 5 days. He also commented that God had an annoying ability...He has veto power. :) The doctor is a believer and was fun to talk to as well. He gave some good counsel and was excited to hear about Daddy's life and the heritage we all have. The doctor strongly suggested that only one person stay here a night to give everyone else a chance to sleep and stay well. We are going to rotate. Tonight is my night and I am going to go to sleep soon as I only slept about 3 hours last night. Got my toothbrush and retainer. What more could I ask??
