I can only hope and pray now

Dad's health is deteriorating very fast. His reflexes are slowing down. He is unable to swallow solids and is on a liquid diet. He cant even eat the cereal which i bought for him. I brought him another box today and hope he can at least eat some of it. His right leg is swollen and is suffering from incontinence too. Not good at all. My brother hasnt been able to get in touch with his doctor today. Will have to wait till tomorrow to know how best to go about my dad's situation.

My heart aches so much each time i go back. I cant hold back my tears each time i see him lying so helpless in bed. I wonder if he still remembers who i am or not. He doesnt look as though he's in much pain, but i saw a tear rolling down his chsek when i was speaking to him. I really hope he can make it through the day the metal rods comes off his legs. I want him to be able to regain his strength instead of wasting away in bed this way. God bless, Papa.
