That evening I got a call from my brother. He was having nice visit when my dad said that he didnt feel good, and he was naseous. He then threw up massive amounts of blood.
The doctor wanted to intubate him and put him on the ventilator. My father did want resusitation. It was in his living will. If he couldnt be like he was before he wanted no parts of it. They were "bagging" him He had aspirated and wasnt breathing. We let his wished stand and nature took its course.
We planned the funeral. He wanted everything exactly like my moms. But dad, we just couldn't bury you in a pink casket. The service was nice. He had a military escort and they played Taps and he had an American Flag covering the casket.
I hope heaven does exist and he is with my Mother. I often wonder if it is real or is dead, dead!!!!!!!!!!!
They found out with this massive and fatal bleed that he had a Dieulafoy lesion, which is a large submucosal artery that erodes thru the lining of his stomach. It is to be suspected in people who had bleeds for which they can find no cause. He has only been doing this for 1 year. What can you do.
