Brian came down yesterday after we informed him Uncle Sonny had a new infection in his lungs and had to be put in isolation. We now are coming to terms with the news that he will not be coming out of this. Keeping him on this earth would require a trach and indefinite care in a convalescent home. We can't do that to him, because we know he would never want to live like that. We don't know when the decision will be made to stop life support, but it will be soon.
His grandson Brody's baptism is scheduled for tomorrow and knowing how important that was to her Dad, Monica is making sure it still takes place. This is so bittersweet. I am trying to understand why my Uncle was put through all the misery of his stem cell transplant in December which ultimately put him in remission as of 3 weeks ago. If this was how it was to end, what was it all for?
I am sad, angry, frustrated, confused and don't know how much more "testing" my faith can take. Please pray especially for for his wife Maryanne, Daughter Monica, son Bradley, and my dad. This loss for my Dad wipes out his entire immediate family. He now stands without his parents, his brothers, his sister and his precious Aunts. We are all he has left, and that must be so hard for him.

Please just pray for us.
