He had lung cancer 3 years ago, had a lung removed, did fairly well, about four months ago he got pretty sick, had some kind of fungus infection in his only lung . He was off and on the vent for weeks the last time they didn't think he'd come off it. But he did great .
They sent him to rehab to build his muscles up and they sent him home ( staying with me) . 2days later his stomach was really hurting so
I called an ambulance, this time his gallblatter was infected they weren't sure if he was strong enough to stand the surgery they decided to do it and found it was gangreen and rotten. After that he felt better thanhe had in along time he said. Kept him in the hospital for another week, then back to myhouse. The first week was great we laughted, watched movies, cooked, we had a ball. The second week he started coughing, spitting stuff up and was tired alot Friday night I
stayed
up till 12am talking to him, he'd fall asleep and I'd listenthen wake him up to tell him what he was saying in his sleep

I am so sorry to hear of your loss dasiejanie. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that you made his final weeks as comfortable and happy as you could. You know that he will always be in your heart and he will know how much you loved him. May you all find peace.
