My dad's not well

[Scoops]

Hey everybody,
just got a call from my sister. got to go down to Forsyth Medical in North Carolina about my dad. pulmonary edema, shadow in lung that looks like cancer, atrial fibrillation, not breathing well on oxygen, wont open eyes. intubating soon

he's 84; was navigator in b-24 liberator flying out of italy into blekhammer, etc. bailed out twice, MIA twice, lieutenant JG, best guy god ever created. his famous saying: "why in god's name would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane."

i'll be off the forum for a few days unless i can get my hands on a computer.

hoping for the best, whatever that may be.

Somewhat the same situation-WWII vet Father In Law has Alzheimer's, slowly slipping away. The Greatest Generation was just that, we'll not see the likes of them again, nor, hopefully, need the likes of them again. Best to you and yours.

BTDT....and it hurts. Dad, Marine Sgt. (battlefield promotion, Pacific Theater) passed last year after much prolonged illness.

Prayers are being sent for you and the family....he's in someone else's capable hands.
