Hi Subha, I am very sorry to hear about your father. I know exactly what you are going through as my own father has had similar experiences. It is hard to avoid feeling tense when such circumstances are beyond your control. You cannot help but question why, despite their being no blame to lay, You should not feel that you have done something to deserve this. For neither you nor your father are being punished. Life just goes this way sometimes. As hard as it my be, this is an experience you need to have. You must make the most of whatever you get, Enjoy your time together and hope for the best. Always remember what will be will be. With time all things pass. I wish you strength in this time of need dear friend, may it all work out for the best.

Hi subha, it is sad to know that your dad having the same problem again few days back and the feeling blockade in his food pipe a bit serious last night. Since your brother is together with him I hope your burden and worry would be lightened a little bit to have someone to share with. We could blame for nothing as life is always uncertain. Misfortune might strike at anytime to anyone especially when we grow older, we are bound to have health problem here and there. We are lucky to be able to live in this advance modern world with high medical technology and many illness could be cured whereas these would be helpless in the olden time. So don’t worry too much and hopping that your dad will discover very soon after the proper medical treatment. Generally parents need comfort and accompany of their loved ones especially their children and spouse in the very moment to give them love and encouragement in the more optimistic manner. Lets pray for him together hope the combine effort of praying could bring wonderful and magnificent healing power to him. Good luck and take care.

Hi subha, you must be firm and try to be confident with yourself that you would overcome the emotion and tension. Try to release your tension by doing something like listening to soothing music or saying prayer which could lead you to a more peaceful situation before going to bed. Hope this could make you fall asleep easier. If you still couldn’t overcome the emotion problem try to get assistance from a psychiatrist who might give you proper advice on this matter. Always bear in mind that your dad still needs your support and caring as your brother has to leave next Friday. Of course hopping that everything will be ok before your brother leaving you. Take care.

It is pity to hear your bad's health problem. Don't be so upest, you must calm down in dealing with such prolme. Perhaps fining a good solution for that should be more wise. Make a complete physical examination for your bad and settle down the reason for such problem. If the hospital can not change such problem and maybe you should change another hospital as soon as possible. bless you

I will pray for you and your parents. It does not mean that God is getting back at you for something they did, and if your parents did and asked for God's forgiveness, then there is no reason for God to punish them. There is the devil, however, who will want people to turn their back on HIM and maybe this is an attack on your faith. So be strong, resist, and pray that God will get you through this ordeal.

Really worried to hear that your dad is facing again the health problems. May some gastric problem or things like that.. Because as you confirmed in your previous posts regarding the health of your dad that the reports are negative.. and therefore i feel that there is nothing serious to worry. Relax subha.. God is always with the side of Good hearts..and certainly HE will look after the health of your father.. God bless you and your family.. Cheers friend.

I just said a short prayer for his recovery. It's good that he is well taken care of. I guess, letting him feel that you and the rest of the family won't leave his side will help him recover faster. Just pray to God and always be positive about it.

I'll be praying for your dad, and praying that you can get some sleep. What kind of test have they done on your dad? My uncle was having problems eating and swallowing food, he said it felt like something was stuck in his throat all the time. He lost alot of weight because he couldn't eat, my aunt had to puree all his food, like a baby, if it was too big it would get stuck and he would almost choke on it. They kept doing all kinds of tests on him, they even said he just had acid reflux, and gave him medicine for that, but it didn't work. He had heart surgery just before all this and they were saying that it was the ventilator that was in his throat probably irritated it, they gave him medicine for that, it didn't work either. I mean they just ran him around and around, no matter what they tried nothing was working for him. Finally they done the right test and found that he had polyps on his esophagus, and they had to remove them, that was the whole problem all this time, now he's doing better, he can eat and has gained his weight back. So you might try to see if the doctors will look into it, this may be what is going on with your dad..Good Luck

I know how you're feeling, my dad was diagnosed a few months ago with liver disease. Hes getting on the transplant list but not until, November. Walking from his room to the bathroom could kill him, but yet he's not bad enough according to the doctors to be on the list right now. I dont sleep so well because of all the worrying I do. I will pray for you. If you ever wanna talk feel free to email me. baby.girl143@yahoo.com God Bless, Sara

Having health problems has nothing to do with the person done damage to others. In old age every one gets one problem or the other like wise, today my mother is running fever. If we feel miserable then we are also providing negative energy to the patient, instead these are the times when you can return the love and warmth what your parents gave to you without your asking. Make your parents cared for and believe me they will get well soon. Besides I will also pray for their good health.Sarve bhavantu sukhin, sarve bhavantu niramaya, sarve bhadrani pashyantu,ma faleshu kadachan.

I am not a doctor but it sounds like acid reflux. If you can I would have a GI doctor look at him (that is someone that works with the digestive system) I will keep you all in my prayers.

Life comes with both pain and pleasure. If we want life we have to accept both as a natural part of living. However, I can understand how tense and worried you must be feeling just now and my sympathies and prayers go out to your family. Just try to keep positive and you will help your Dad more than being negative or anxious. Fait, belief and love can work wonders.

Hello subha12. It is tough when a parent is experiencing health problems. Also, it can be scary. It sounds like you are quite concerned for him. I am sending my best wishes to you and your father. I hope that he recovers soon. Perhaps you can allow yourself some time to relax and do something you enjoy, take a walk, read a book, or whatever you like. It will help to relieve the tension and worry that you have been feeling. Take care. PearlGrace
