[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 433212, member: 484"] sf a few years back, my father in law came to live with us. for me it was a great treat, as he spend many countless hours teaching me things from hunting to auto repair. many of the things my own father did not know about. so we had a father son relationship that was very strong. after several weeks, he passed out. took him to the er. the doc said that the reason for his passing out was that his bowels had died. it seems that even though he had been on very high doses of steroids his whole life, when he went to rehab right after his stroke (right before he came to us) they had stopped his steroid medication. when you stop taking steroids cold turkey, it does all sorts of nasty things. end result was that we (my wife and i) had to give the permission to increase the morphine to the level that it put him under. that was the hardest day in my life, knowing that what we were doing was going to kill him, but that there was nothing they could do to keep him alive, he was beginning to die from the inside out. a very painfull, agonizing death. so, even though i dont know your specific circumstances, i will tell you this. prayer helps. a strong base in your belief in God does as well. the best i can do is keep you in my prayers and thoughts! d [/QUOTE]
