This has been a very difficult time for me and Sheila. Last Monday May 5th we were at my nephews birthday party. We were just finishing up singing happy birthday to him when the phone rang. My brother answered and told us it was Sheila's Mom and she wanted us there immediately. Sheila's Dad appeared to have suffered a mini stroke that turned out to be a full stroke. We believe that he had another stroke on the way from Clark Memorial Hospital to U Of L Hospital. Tuesday things were not looking bad. They had planned to send him to rehab in New Albany on Thursday to start his road to recovery. With each day that came and went he became a little worse. Yesterday Monday May 12th Sheila called me at work and told me that they would be taking him off everything including the cpap machine. My heart sunk because I knew this would be the last time we would get to see him. I am so thankful that I made it to the Hospital in time to be there with Adah and Sheila when I knew they were going to need me the most. We were in the room with him right by his side as he slipped away to the other side. It wasn't easy to watch him go and it sure will not be the same without him. But I am happy that he is no longer suffering. The man went through more than I would wish on anyone this week. I tried to thank everyone that has offered us their prayers and so many words of encouragement. I am sure that I have left someone out, but I know that you all know I would not do that on purpose. Thank you to all of our family and friends who have stuck right there by our side.
Blessings till I post again.
