I usually dont post these kinds of threads but im so scared of losing my FIL right now-- Every year since 2001 we have had at least one death in my in laws family. First it was my MIL's oldest sister (cancer), then FIL's 33 yr old neice (murdered by husband), then my middle SIL's oldest son (days shy of his 21st bday seizure/asthma/breathing problems), then it was my MIL's next youngest sister (arent sure what took - she was fine the day before she died just had a cold), then MIL ( emphysema, COPD, asthma), and then last month another one of MIL's sisters (terminal illness). Its been a very emotional few years in this family.
Melissa, next oldest SIL called me at midnite last nite to tell me that her dad (FIL) was coming back from deer camp to go to the ER-- he was having major chest pains. They arent sure if he had a heart attack or not-- He had a quadruple bypass surgery in jan 2001 and if he did have another heart attack this will be his 4th i think. He has already had 2 heart surgeries including the quadruple bypass-- in 1999 he had a triple bypass surgery too. If he dies, i dont know what is going to happen. His family is already so unstable. Everyone is leaning on me right now since i have a somewhat medical background and I understand the terms and what the dr's are saying. My children LOVE their paw more than i have ever seen in a grandparent/grandchild relationship and Paw (FIL) is smitten with both of my kids. ( The rest of the grandkids are in the late teens early 20s while my kids are 5 yrs old and 20 months).
As i was laying in bed last nite i was thinking about how we never got any pictures of my MIL with my daughter. My daughter is the second granddaughter in the family and the other one is 22 yrs old and she is/was not close with her grandparents. I told my MIL that she could not die before my daughter was born-- She hung on until my daughters due date. Luckily my daughter was born 2 weeks early. So she got to see her for a couple of times. I just realised then that we dont have many if any at all pictures of FIL with daughter. We have a ton of him with our son.
If you made it this far thru all my ramblings, please just send us some get well vibes. I dont knw if we can handle loosing him right now.
