Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Maybe it's not the healthiest thing to rely on an internet BB for support, but who cares. I have only told one real-life friend.
My brother is keeping me updated...so far no change. I hope somehwere in my father's unconcious state he will remember to bring out his stubborn side.
Karen, my father's Hebrew name is Joseph...reminds me of the circle of life. Also...my very dear friend's H is battling multiple myeloma for the past yr...he is on new medication, but they are considering a stem cell transplant. It is wonderful to hear your mom got better.
Well, life is a journey... I have learned a lot here about how to cope with crisis...now to put it to use!
