Daddy is sick

My father, 82 year old Joseph A. Miller, Jr. is very ill. His heart is failing and he is not responding well to treatment. Dad is in the Hospital for the second time this month.

Sorry to hear that James.

Our prayers for your Dad.

 

Thank y'all for kind words, thoughts and prayers.

 

They're still coming!

Devon

 

Very sorry to hear this.
Keep a good attitude. I think it makes a huge difference to him.
A room full of optimistic people telling stories and jokes is far more uplifting than a room full of visibly worried people with a few crying.

 

It is most uplifting, to read y'all's encouragement.

I'm sure you are right.
Dad will be moved from the hospital to rehabilitation facility early next week. My sister and I are going to work out the details tomorrow. My sister and brother in law have found a wonderful rehab center just blocks from where I work and from where my sister lives. And it's only ten miles from my Dad's and Mom's house. And my house is exactly halfway from the rehab and Mom's and Dad's.
Thanks again, y'all

 

Hope your dad gets to feeling better.

 

Actually, He is feeling better. I just got a report from the doctor. Dad's kidneys have increased function. And he is more alert. Dad is looking forward to moving to the rehab facility.
Thanks for your kind words.

 

Here's to your dad having a speedy and complete recovery. He looks like a fighter who isn't giving up anytime soon.:TU:

 

Mister T you are right. He is fighting this off.

Looking back, I believe he forgot to take his medicine last weekend. We're going to take steps to insure that doesn't happen again.

His condition has improved enough that the hospital is going to release him to the rehab center on Saturday rather than Monday.


My brother has flown in from Boston.
My sister and her husband have driven up from the Gulf coast.
My niece and her husband drove down from Fort Campbell.
Dad's spirits are better with the attention of the folks from out of town. And, I'll tell him y'all are pulling for him, too. Dad will much appreciate it.

Thanks again everyone,

 

I'll say a prayer for your dad James.

 

Good to hear he's getting better.
