He only has a maximum of seven days to live. A priest gave him absolution and the ointment of the sick and dying. He was unable to give him the communion but said that he can receive it spiritually.

Prayers and advice welcome.

Thank you.
 
Praying for your beloved father.

Most merciful Jesus, lover of souls, I pray to you by the agony of your most sacred heart, and by the sorrows of your Immaculate mother, to wash in your most Precious Blood the sinners of the world who are now in their agony, and who are near death today.

Amen :highprayer::signofcross:

When my baba and two gidas passed away it was tough but I found comfort in God through prayer, mass, and praying the rosary to help out. Do not be afraid, for in God’s love and mercy He will protect you and your family in your time of need. 🙂
 
Praying for you and your father. I am very sorry for the pain you are feeling at this terrible time.
 
My father is being euthanize at the hospital without permission. I took him to the hospital on Monday evening and learned Friday that they were not feeding him nor giving him water to help him die.

I am at peace with death but not this way. It is really disturbing. It’s too late to stop the damage caused by starving him and drugging him with morphine for six days now.

I can only share a little at a time. I am very fatigued and did not sleep a wink last night.

Thank you all for your beautiful prayers my father and I appreciate them very much.

Peace,

Abba
 
I am so sorry, Abba. What a terrible way for your father to die! May our Lord continue to bless him with the graces he needs to die in a state of grace. Praying that you and your father keep strong in faith. Amen.
 
Keep praying.

Our lord jesus the great physician is listening to our prayers,

this is the eighth day of starvation for my father. They have been giving him morphine so he would not feel the pain.

Someone got the power of attorney and requested that he not be operated and to just give him comfort medicine,

i the care taker never got a chance to do the power of attorney thing,

i have been looking for the fifth leg of the cat ever since friday when i learned that they were euthanize my father, i have been trying everything, friday and saturday i did not sleep. Don’t ask me how i could not sleep for two straight days, i did not think that at my age i could still do that,

finally today my father’s primary doctor succeed and having him be removed from the hospital and transferred to a convalescent home where he will be nourished and later operated for an obstruction, praise be to god!

I going to the hospital now to tell my father the good news, he had been telling me to call the cops on the hospital, believe me, i tried everything. I threatened them with attorneys and that i was going to go to the media,

my father will be taken out of that hospital today,

thank you mother mary.

(capitals are intentional to express my joy)

my goodness! Who came up with the solution of starving a patient and giving them morphine so they do not feel the pain of starvation? What a crime! Dear lord have mercy on us!

I took my father to the hospital to be healed not to be killed.
 
My ten days in HELL are OVER!

Praise be to God and all glory and honor!

Hospital procedures were not followed and someone that wanted my father dead without me knowing requested that nothing be done not even an biopsy to learn if he indeed had cancer. The attending doctor was replaced (dismissed ?)on Sunday and I have not seen the tail of a problematic nurse (fired?). A new physician was assigned to my father and I met her last night. She apologized for the euthanasia my father had been submitted to. She said that she will listed the DNR and DN something else and start nourishing him immediately. She came back in the room fifteen minutes later and apologized and told me that she could not lift the request and told me that the only thing I can do is to go to probate court.

I went to probate court and although they close at 4:30, I was there until 8pm. This morning the judge held a hearing in my father’s hospital room and lifted the requests and demanded that my father starts being nourished immediately.

The HELL is over for me and my father.

Thank you all for your prayers.

I can relax now.

My children and I are going to see the Smurfs right now.

Peace to all,

Abba

Thank you Monicad, Reindeer and all who are praying for this cause. I am fighting for life here, People can not decide when someone has lived enough!

Just to clear up the thread, back on Tuesday I wrote that my father’s primary care doctor was getting him out of that hospital and overriding the DNR and all the other requests. He is the director of a nursing home and he figured that he could as his primary care doctor just request his transfer. The new attending physician for my father at the hospital told me on Tuesday that she could not authorize the transfer to a nursing home as he could no longer swallow (due to the weakness caused by the starvation) and that he needed to be in a hospital but that he could be transferred to another hospital. That’s when she informed me about the DNR, the request to not nourish and give morphine, etc… and advised me to go to probate court.

As I mentioned, the court stayed open a little later for me under an emergency situation as I cried for the first time and told them that my father was being killed at the hospital. Wednesday, the judge held an emergency hearing in my father’s room at the hospital and lifted all the requests against his life and that a biopsy.

I waited for the judges orders to be implemented and it was midday of the following day and my father was still not being nourished. I went to probate and met the judge and informed him. He called the hospital and they told him that they were still waiting for his order to be faxed! The judge spoke in a resounding voice :mad: and said that they were present during the meeting and did not need a written form to follow his orders. He said that he went through a lot of trouble to hold that emergency hearing and if that man dies, he said, I am personally going to go to the hospital commission and file a complain!!!:mad: I went back to the hospital.

They started giving my father a potassium drip. They shaved him and connected a heart monitor to him which they are watching at the front desk. They still need to give him morphine for the pain of starvation.
 
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
AMEN

In the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit AMEN

I am fighting for my father’s life here. People can not decide when someone has lived enough!

I lost my post which was a continuation of the last but I have to go now. I am taking my children and their friends to the beach for the first time this long summer with having to deal with my father’s lack of eating.

Thank you all for your prayers. I appreciate them very much.

Peace,

Abba

I found my post:

I already had my father checked for every possible thing on the book previous to taking him to that hospital and everything came back negative. That is why I thought to try a different hospital (what a mistake!). The problem he has been having is that he has not been eating enough and has been loosing weight. He was checked for cancer at one of the finest hospitals in New England and his urologist checked for cancer and the conclusion was that he did not have cancer.

When I took my father to the emergency room of that hospital it was with the complain of weakness, not eating well and loosing weight. I told them that I had taken him to various doctors and another hospital and nothing wrong was found but that if he continues this way he will not live for long. After running some tests the ER physician told me that they had found nothing wrong. I insisted, that there was something wrong, that I had 13 aunts and uncles and grandparents who I had been very familiar and helped to take care and that what was happening to my father was not normal and to please see what she could do because he will not last long this way. She said, there is one more thing, I am going to order an X-Ray and I told her that one had already been done. She checked it and said that she was going to admit him for pneumonia. I said, oh, pneumonia, well it’s a good thing I brought him in, but, that would still not explain the lose of appetite and she said that they will additionally run more tests.

I left my father at the hospital that evening. At 5:30 am I get a call from a surgeon who told me that my father did not have pneumonia but that a bladder infection and that the reason he was not eating properly was that he had an obstruction in his intestines. He said that he could operate that but the problem is that he was also diagnosed with cancer and it had spread. He told me that what I wanted to do was to find out if the cancer is terminal because if my father had six months to live I may not want him to be operated as he would be uncomfortable for three months from the operation. I told him that I will find out what the situation was on the cancer and get back to him, I immediately left to the hospital and stayed with my father all day.

In the morning a doctor came in and emptied his bladder and another came in and put him in antibiotic for the bladder infection. In the afternoon, a doctor told me that they were not sure that it was cancer, that at first they thought it was pneumonia, then cancer but, now they were thinking that it may just be that the bladder infection spread. The doctor said that the only way to find out for sure is to do a biopsy. I said that he had been examined for cancer recently at another hospital and by his urologist and they had not found cancer.

Well, I waited for two days for the biopsy more for their satisfaction then anything else, as I have respect for the specialist who had examined my father just a week before and had found no cancer. Then I learned on Friday that they were not going to do a biopsy that they had started euthanizing him without me knowing nor my father. I was informed by a nurse that he was not being nourished nor being given water because it was not him was would be nourished but the tumor. I said but it is not certain that he has cancer only a biopsy would show for sure. That’s when my days in hell began.

Thank you Christine85 for your prayers.

Here is the continution of the continuation:

Sorry about the mess, I have kids here rushing me who want to go to the beach…

Ever since Friday morning when that nurse told me that and I realized that he was not being nourished I thought the hospital independently was doing that. So, I went to the police, patients relations, I called 911, I called the media, his private doctors, etc… On Tuesday afternoon the new physician informed me that some people came from New York and placed the request and that I should have been informed. She said, I am going to lift the DNR myself and told the nurse to start nourishing my father. She came back ten minutes later and told me that she couldn’t that the only way was for me to go to probate court.

We had an emergency meeting on Wednesday and the judge lifted all the requests and ordered my father to be nourished ad a biopsy done. Last night the attending doctor informed me that they had run a cat scan and a pet scan and there was no cancer and no need for a biopsy.

I did request from the judge back on Wednesday that my father be transfer from that hospital but he said that he is too weak right now.

So my father does not have cancer and my father and I never thought that that diagnosis was correct and there they were going to kill my father without even confirming if there suspicion was correct.

I don’t understand how someone can legally request euthanasia for someone without that person having a terminal illness. I hope to have my day in court someday when I place a claim against the hospital.

So, no cancer, the bladder infection has been treated and cured, and he has an obstruction that needs to be operated. Last night the attending physician, who informed me that indeed he does not have cancer as I had been insisting, that it may not be an obstruction that it may be a slowdown of the intestines. Now, they have to find out which one out of the two it is indeed. She said that she will speak with the surgeon who called me to find out what he thinks.

Aside from all that, a big problem is that my father cannot swallow due to the weakness caused by the starvation. Please pray that he is sufficiently nourished through the IV to gain strength to swallow.

God bless. The Smurf was not that great. I am taking my children and their friends to the beach for the first time this long summer of dealing with my father’s lack of appetite.

Thank you all for your prayers. I appreciate them very much.

May God bless you all,

Abba

Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
