My Uncle

I've made it to Houston and went and visited my uncle at ICU! It was the sadest thing I've probably ever seen in my life! I have not been around sick people alot. Today they had to decide what the next step was for him since the tumor has taken over his Pulmonary artery. He has been on meds to keep his blood pressure and heart rate normal. But at this point his kidneys are failing and they have decided there is nothing more to do for him. He will just be given the morpheny (spell) for pain and the rest will be left to God. He cannot talk and doesn't wake up. He just lays there with a vent breathing for him. You can see him move his eyes but that is it! And it is probably just nerves doing it! He looks so puffy from all the meds and IVS! I cannot stop crying! I just cannot believe that he is dying so soon from this. He just found out the 1st of the month. Everyone is taking it HARD and since he has no living will it is twice as hard to make decision for him. I will never have the chance to say good bye to him! I'm sooooo sad! Please pray for us!! And remember how short life can be!
