Bless your heart.....you are such a good daughter !
My dad had a brain tumor but they could not operate on it due to where it was. "My call" was when I was in another state on spring break with my daughter and her friend. My brother called and said my dad could not see. We rushed home, the drive was horrible for me, and when I got to the hospital it was just like your dad.....he was hooked up to all types of machines. It was horrible for me and I was such a 'daddy's girl'. After a few days in the hospital his vision did return thank the good Lord. And yes the tears are about the exhaustion you are feeling and the love for your dad. It's ok to cry.....it's really a release for your body. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this but you found a good place here ! This NT family is truly awesome and has gotten me through some very rough times in my life. Please keep us updated on you and your dad. I'm hoping where he is now will really help him and you. Remember to take care of yourself too Debi from Georgia |

Thank you so much. It is nice to know there are people out there going through things that are similar to what I am going through.

Sounds like you are, understandably, suffering exhaustion, stress and Depression. You need to take care of yourself primarily before you can take care of your Dad. Do speak to your Dr and seek out Caregivers Support Groups in your area.
Be kind to yourself. Dave.
