I know it must be really hard for you to have faith that everything will be allright, so maybe we can have that faith for you. What you are doing by just being there for him and showing faith and caring is all that someone like your Dad could ever ask for. Think about it, there are many people the world over that have people close to them that don't even care. You on the other hand are giving all the support and love that a father could ever dream of! We are all still praying for your Dad and for you. Keep up the faith, it's an uphill climb, but one that has lot's of rewards once you get there. A person in your situation can't be expected to be rock steady and have all the answers as to what is happening and why, all you have to do is to continue to love and support him. Remember that even two steps forward and one step back is still progress!

Thanks for sharing with us and don't ever think that you are laying too much on us, we care more than you know.


Later, Rob.

Hang in there, Chris. I know this is hard for you. You feel like you should be DOING something but you are by just being there. He can see you and feel your love for him and knows you are close.

You can say what ever you need to here with us...we're family, remember? I'll keep the prayers for both you and your Dad. Please take care of yourself, too. Eat when you should and try to get some rest. Sitting and waiting at a bedside is very hard on you physically as well as mentally, I've done it more times than I care to remember. You have to stay strong for you Dad so he won't be worrying about you too.

We're here when you need us.

It may not feel like much, but you are doing something for your dad that even the doctors can't do. Just be there for your dad, and it will do him a world of good.

People who have loving family members with them do better in the hospital. It's true. I'm sure it means a lot to your dad to know that you are there for him.

We'll keep up our support, but be sure that you stay in touch with your friends and family. You too need support to get through this until your dad is better.

Your dad is so lucky to have a son like you. Keep the faith, we will be praying and I hope you are too. I am sure your dad would want you to get some rest so he doesn't have to worry about you too. But being there is the best thing you can do for your dad right now. Rely on your friends and family (including your friends on the board.) and stay strong we are all there with you in thought and prayer.
