Poor mom, they have come to the conclusion that it might be time to call in Hospice. He needs a hospital bed. They have not wanted to call Hospice for a couple of reasons...
1) They do not want to feel like they are giving up
2) They have my brother and his family close AND they have plenty of wonderful people that can and will help from church
3) Mom really doesn't like people that she doesn't know in and out of the house.
Say a prayer... pray for my sweet mom...
Thank you dear friends/family... LOVE YOU!
UPDATE ~ Utah time 3:55 pm
Just heard from Dirk, they are at the ER and they are giving him fluids and nausea meds thru IV, he is already feeling better! They are also going to do an Xray to make sure there is no blockage! They said they can give him nausea meds to take home that he can put under his tongue so that it will go right into the blood stream and he will not throw them up!
Dirk said that on the way to the ER dad saw Beto's (he loves their breakfast burritos) and he teased and said, "Hey, do you think we have time to stop at Beto's?" They knew he was teasing, he has been nauseated and cant keep anything down, but he is still his cute little joking self!!!
The ER in American Fork is wonderful... they are on top of things! THANK YOU!!!
PS A nurses aid just came in and asked him if there was anything they could get him... he said he would love a large chocolate shake. Guess who is now eating a large chocolate shake? He is too cute!

prayers sent your way.
hang in there.
Your dad sounds so adorable. I ams so sorry ou are having to go through this and I would love to pray for your mom and dad.
My Father in Law is currently on hospice and they have been incredible! They only do what the family wants them to do... the support and comfort is for the whole family, not just the patient.
He is getting well enough I think he will go off of hospice in August though.
I am glad your dad has those aweet great melt in you mouth pills. I hope he gets to enjoy many moreChocolate shakes, Beto's burritos and root beer floats!
Hugs,
Beth ~♥
These blogs make you feel like you know the people you are talking about. Makes me hold my breath when you start talking about your Dad. Hope the shake tasted great.
What a funny guy he is amidst feeling like crap, how awful! My prayers are with you, I know this can very stressful!!!! Hugs!
So hard to see them go through this! I know you wish you could be there. I'll keep them in my prayers.
Shaila, the hospice workers are about the closest things to angels you will ever know here on earth. They will not only be a blessing to your Dad, but especially to your Mom! Take care, you are in my heart and in my prayers.
I am so sorry to hear that your dad is struggling so bad. That really stinks. You have been in my thoughts a lot & I was wondering how your dad was.. I will pray for him. Glad to hear they could give him some nausea medicine.
My parents are at the crossroads also. They don't want strangers in their house but it's getting to a point that I can't keep up with all their needs and my families too. Our stake president owns a hospice, I need to check into it. It's hard for me to take that step also.
Your Dad is so cute.
When I was pregnant with #2 I got severely dehydrated from being so nauseous. I was SO amazed at the difference 3 hours and 2,000 cc's of fluid made!! It seemed to me that more fluid would make me more nauseous. Bodies are amazing!
Sounds like he is surrounded with love and I will add my prayers to everyone else's.
