Back to home, A big dicision

After 10 days treatment at a big hospital, Finally, my Dad's heavily pheumonia (both his lungs ) seemed under control. The next step before me was; to take him back to that nursing hospital or take him back home with me? confused According to his current weak body situation (he unable take care of himself), I knew clearly that my duties in the future days... after calculating my abilities of caring and other uncertain affairs would be happened. My wish to fulfill his desire(back home) guided me making this decision at last:take him back living with me.

After a long distance travel, last evening the 120 took us back from Pudong to Puxi and after one night rest, this morning he knew that he was at home and felt happy. applause I could feel that from the way he looked at me and his smiling. The familiar surroundings, my face, my voice, my touch and everything can comfort him I know. I am still his dear daughter though he was away from home for more than a year and a half .

In short, the family affections are more than anything else I don't want him feel alone while walking on the last journey of his life.heart wings

PhoenixFH, I think you are a good daughter who brings her father home so he can be there. I am so proud of you, my friend. Here in out country we have old folks home to put the old people in. My dad was in one until he died. It is not usual for us in the west to take care of the elder. This is kind of sad, so I really admire your way of bringing dad home and take care of him. I wish you good luck with your dad. And remember to take care of yourself too.
