Been crying my eyes out all day...

Original post by sarahradio5

My poor uncle is not doing well. I wanted to go see him since he was going to come to my wedding. I even brought him a favor, but took it back with me and told him I want him to come to my wedding. My dad told him he's at Table 8. Unfortunately, we're telling this to a man who wasn't conscious the whole time we were there. I had to be there for him, no matter what I have to do this week. He had so many tubes coming out of him. This guy who loved life is just lying there. He has infections and needs blood transfusions. My mom told me this morning she didn't even think he would make it through the day. I'm praying to God for a miracle. We even had a priest come in to pray with us over him. So emotional and upsetting. I just feel so guilty that I haven't seen him in such a long time... since our Engagement Party last year... and it took him being in the hospital for me to see him. I feel like I slacked on being a niece to him. It's hard because my mom has six brothers, but I wish I can turn back time and see and call him more. I really wish I could have seen him as his lively self, dancing as he always does at our wedding this Sunday, which he was SO looking forward to. Ya know, I didn't even realize, he was actually 84 years old! He looked SO young. Multiple myloma, pacemaker, heart bypass surgery, etc.... yet he lived like he was a teenager. Now he may need kidney dialysis God-willing he pulls through this. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pray your hardest for him. It would take a MIRACLE for him to be healthy enough to be with us on our wedding day (and that's not for selfish reasons... I want my loved ones there... and I can't imagine him not being there). But MOST importantly, I want him HEALTHY and comfortable and HEALED. I love him so much and I want him awake again so I can tell him that, even though I'm sure he knows it... sorry, just had to poor my heart out. Please keep him in your prayers.

I'd also like to say, I work with cancer patients every day. Hindsight is 20/20. Trust me on this, ure uncle is not and will never think that u were a bad niece for not coming to see him. U have a life, he has a life, things happen. What matters is you are there when he needs u most...right now...don't regret what u didn't do. If u had any idea this was going to happen, u would've been there every day by his side. U didn't, u can't regret that. Be there for him now, that's what matters most. Trust me when I tell u that I have patients who haven't spoken to their loved ones in YEARS...and when they come in to see them when they're sick...none of that matters...in the end, u both know u love each other...thats the important thing...so don't beat ureself up...I hope things go well and if u ever need anything, feel free to FM me anytime!

OMG... i am SO sorry you're going through something similar. It's SO tough. I hope your FH's dad hangs on. Either way, he will be there with you guys that day. But it's just so hard on the family. I'm sure he would want you guys to be happy during this time, though... it only happens once. Enjoy your last days of being engaged. Did you take honeymoon insurance, just in case? i actually forgot. oops.

Your FH's dad is in my prayers, too. Start a post... these liw girls, as you know, are AMAZING. you'll get a TON of prayers heading your way, and I really believe in the power of prayer. Hey... after the priest prayed over my uncle and my plea on here, my uncle's fever went down. Maybe, maybe, maybe.... ???



THANKS Sarah. Yeah I'm a little shy about starting my own thread usually....I am one to just reply to others. Maybe I will start a thread...thanks!
And thanks - yes so sorry we both are going thru something similar. It's so hard and sad and I feel guilty about feeling happy sometimes that I'm getting married. But yes no matter what FH's dad wants us to have the best day ever whether he is here with us or not. It's just been a real stressful couple of months.
YES we did take full trip insurance and trip interruption...so even if we go and had to cut the trip short we aren't screwed. Booked trip and got insurance before FH's dad was even diagnosed (he was only diagnosed around Father's Day...he got so sick so fast)...we got it just to be safe b/c it is such an expensive trip. Thank god we did!!!

Thanks again! I'll also pray for no rain and winds for you on Sunday
