last days for Mike Mood
Monday, September 21, 2009 | A Sad story
Hi to all my friends,  I thought you might want to know the update for my Mike in the NH.  He has been there over a year.   They treated him nicely.   But now the doctor said MIke has only a few more days to live!!  He hasn't known me for about a month and that just about killed me.  I was feeding him daily  in a wheel chair,  now he is in bed   can't get food or water down.  He is now in the Comfort Zone.   How heart breaking to see him slowly withering away,  it has been 2 days.    Thank God he is in no pain.  
All he does is sleep.  I was hoping we could make our  60th Anniversay  but it doesn't look that way it will be in early NOv.   Sure hope they find a cure for Parkinsons especially for the young ones.       Hope you are all doing well.   Benie

    Oh my friend, I'm so sad to hear this and wish there were more answers and help for this disease and the sadness it brings.

    I had no idea that Mike was at this stage...so quickly this has all turned. My heart is so sad for you to lose the one you love, but I know this has been such a hard journey and to see them in such pain and anguish is not a life either.

    You have been an angel and such a wonderful wife and friend throughout this all. God bless you and Mike both. I know whatever comes, he will soar with angels.

    Keep me posted and know I'm hear if you need a friend.

    Oh Benie, I am sorry that Mike has lost ground so quickly. I know that you have been there to support him through all of his journey with PD. I also hope they find a cure for this soon. There seems to be more people being diagnosed with PD in recent years. Some, my husband is one, have advanced to the point that I don't think it would help him but there are so many others that could be saved the trials of this illness. Please know that I will keep you and Mike in my prayers. Sending blessings to you both! pat
