Oh deramgirl, so sorry to hear this news. I will be praying for a peaceful passing for your uncle with a minimum of pain, and his loved ones around him. I''m so sorry.
Thank you very much for the support. My Mom just emailed me to tell me that they actually just now took him off the respirator and he is struggling to breathe so now it''s only a matter of time...
But it was for the best given his situation. He will now be at peace...
Also, after that...my Great Aunt (his sister) started feeling ill and was taken downstairs to the emergency room where they admited her. We were all freaked out about that as well. Apparently she had a rough time with his passing (being the only sibling left.) They ran various tests on her and then gave her some medication where she was thereafter released and went with my Aunt to stay with her for the night. As far as I know, she will be ok.
I am so sorry for your loss, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thankfully your Great Aunt is going to be ok...this must be so hard on her.
