He got diagnosed with multiple myeloma and now he's hooked up to a ventilator and his organs are failing. Doctors are asking if should he have a cardiac arrest if they're allowed to resuscitate him.

Fuck man...

What did you guys choose? CPR can be very traumatizing.

Sorry you're going through that. I've been dealing with my aging father's health problems for the last couple of years & it's not easy.

Good luck.

Thanks you guys. Y'all rock.

Right now he's still alive. Doctors asked me if they wanted to give him extra care to keep him alive and I told them yes just so my family up north can get the chance to see him before he passes on.

that really sucks, TC.

sorry to hear, but at least it's nice for his loved ones to hopefully get a chance to say their goodbyes.

it's one of those things that really mean a lot to people.

You did the right choice, tc.

I wish I could spend a bit more time time with my grandfather before he passed. He was the first of our main immediate family that we've lost back in 2009.

Cherish every moment, record every word he says because you'll be revisiting that footage for years to come.

I think this is the best way, IMO. You know him and I don't, but most people would be happy to have things prolonged a little in order to make their passing easier for their loved ones.

I would suggest though that once the close circle of family are present, you have a serious chat with the ICU team about his situation though and whether they think there is a meaningful chance of a good functional recovery. If not (and with myeloma there might not be), it's much better to allow death to come naturally in a controlled way than to put everyone through something like CPR that wouldn't be successful in the first place.

I haven't been to this topic in a few days but unfortunately, my dad passed away on Friday morning. I was able to see him for a few days the week before and let him know he was the greatest and made sure I got him everything he needed while I was there. He had some artwork and sketches to give me so I'm keeping those forever.

Right now, I'm in New York to take care of his affairs. This shit really sucks. Fuck cancer

The worst part about it is that while I was up there to visit him, he was still cracking jokes and being his same ol' self. His condition didn't worsen until literally a day or so after I left.

Our last phone call was short since he was asking for my aunt's phone number (somebody had stolen his phone while he was in the hospital). I knew he loved me and he knew I loved him, but I wish I would have stayed on the phone so much longer. I thought with how he was when I saw him, I'd have more time with him since I was planning to visit him in December

Honestly these past few weeks have been such an emotional rollercoaster that I don't even know how to feel.

Thanksgiving was legit one of the best days I've had in a long-time. Most of my mom's side of the family came down for Thanksgiving so I got to see a lot of relatives I haven't seen in legit a decade. Lots of drinking, smoking, eating and partying with my cousins where I kinda got to destress and take my mind off of my dad's condition.

And then today, my job promotion was made official and I'm being moved over to the Enterprise Application team at my company, with a hefty pay raise.

But at the same time, it's like I really miss my dad and I wish I could celebrate all of this with him.

It's not an easy process to go through. I had to put my birth mother in the ground last year and while we weren't super close it was difficult seeing the changes she went through. She was never full of energy, but her whole demeanor over the course of 6 months just got worse and worse. Multiple organ failures, and just her ability to interact with people was very much down to mumbles. Hope the best for your father.

Well holy shit....my dad left me and my mom a pretty hefty savings account. Don't want to get into an exact number but it's basically enough to buy a house outright in a MCOL area. My sister wasn't listed as a beneficiary (I guess he never got around to doing it) so I'm gonna put half the money in a trust for her.

I really wish my dad was here, but damn did he make sure his kids would be taken care of in his absence.
