I had to call 911 around 3:30 a.m. I was helping Tim move from the recliner to the bed in the guest room. He tried to get there too quickly and his legs buckled under him and he went down while I was holding him. We worked for 15 minutes trying to get him up, but without strength, he could not help me and I just could not lift him.
911 dispatch transferred my call to the EMTs. I put a pillow behind Tim's head, threw a blanket over him and he went to sleep while waiting on them to arrive. It took longer for the paperwork than for them to get him up. Fortunately it didn't cost anything since we didn't need ambulance transport to the hospital. Thank You, LORD!
He slept pretty well until 1:00. After that it was a game of transfers.....from the bed to the recliner to the bed and back again. And add to that the many times he had to pee. BUT, I'm glad he is drinking more! Thank You, LORD!
He said several times today that he wished he could go to the ER and that they would do something to make him feel better. Breaks my heart! Liz is going to come tomorrow and bring me some milk and give me her opinion on her dad's condition. He is definitely worse, but I don't know how much more to endure before I insist he be admitted to the hospital for some help.
I'm tired, so I am just going to close so I can get some sleep while he is sleeping. Thank you all for your prayers!
Welcome to my little corner of the world. I pray some of what you read is an inspiration and a blessing to you for your day. This is the day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it!

May God Bless you both. We went through cancer with both our parents and it is a terrible thing to have to deal with. Just remember, the Lord is always with us. Love and prayers for you, Tim and your family.
