Hello Vol family. I do not want to bring this thread down with my personal stuff but as most know I have been walk through this Dementia disease with my Dad. Today got some really tough news. His esophagus is no longer stretching which makes him choke on his food. He was laboring today in his breathing today and Hospice has now taken him off all solid foods. Now its baby food and liquids which means he can't last much longer. He is skin and bones now. Been the toughest thing in my entire life to deal with. Dad was well known in his arena and proud to say he was on the silver screen in 2008 in the movie Fireproof as Kirk Cameron's neighbor Mr Rudolph. Just throwing out some memories as I hang on to memories. Thanks to all my Vol family and appreciate the prayers.
So sorry for what you're dealing with. Remember the good times and prayers for you and your family.

My mom just returned from Tullahoma to oversee a feeding tube insertion on her sister who has been withering away from dementia for years. The end is near and, while I wasn’t super close with my aunt, it’s wrecking my mother. This will be third sister she’ll have buried, two the result of dementia. It’s a cruel, cruel disease. Crueler than most. Thoughts with you and your family through this hellish situation, man.

So very sorry. You continue to be in my prayers.
 
🙏 praying. I know it hurts, my mom's battle with cancer has nosedived her health. She just got finished with Chemo and immunotherapy a couple of weeks ago, and they did another brain MRI to see if the lesions (they weren't sure if the abnormalities on the first MRI from a few months ago were cancer, so they just did another one to determine if they were. If they had spread, they are the cancer) had spread...they have..so she is starting 10 days of full brain radiation the 18th.

I also would appreciate VNs contimued thoughts and prayers.
Prayers for you and your family.
