Susie told me yesterday that her brother-in-law, Vince's brother Greg has been given 3 weeks to live. He will be going on a feeding tube tomorrow and put on hospice. Greg has ALS. He communicates by texting and doesn't know how long he will be able to do this. Please keep Greg and the family in your thoughts and prayers.

So sorry. Prayers going up from me too.

Thanks to all of you. I told Susie last night that I started a thread for Greg here and she was very pleased. Will show it to her the next time she is over.

Edit. The info I was given back in May turned out to be wrong. I talked to Susie today and she said that Greg was put on hospice yesterday and by his request, food is now being withheld. He wants to make it through to next weekend so he can play poker with his brothers and Dad one more time. Then he said he will be ready to go. Please keep the family in your prayers. It is almost over. May God bless and keep him. Bets

So sorry for everyone. My brother in law did the same 'refuse to eat' thing on his choice. He went peacefully. Made us all very sad but it was his decision to go that way. Prayers for everyone for strength in a very hard time.

This just makes me want to cry. But thankfully, he is being given the opportunity to make his own end of life decisions. It has to give him a great deal of peace. My sympathies to Greg and your family.
Once again, weeds are my life!
