Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. I can't tell you how much it means to me to have so many people praying for my dad and our family. When dh and I were praying last night, I felt like God was telling me that my dad will survive the night and that I shouldn't worry so much.
This morning I woke up really early and because of the time difference, I started calling my mom. Of course she wouldn't pick up the phone because she was in the hospital. I called my brother's cellphone. No answer. I ended up calling the hospital about a million times because the connection was cut off several times. Finally thanks Vonage I got through and ended up talking to a nurse. I was wondering whether she was going to be the one to tell me that my dad died last night.
Fortunately he has survived the night. It turns out he has pneumonia. Not a good thing to have if you are battling lung cancer at the same time. The doctor said that he is not doing very well. I didn't expect this to happen so fast. I haven't even talked to him a single time since I came back to Venezuela. I am so not ready to loose him.

So sorry I haven't been around or commenting much lately. You, your dad, and your family are in my prayers
I'm so sorry Yoka.
I'm so sorry, especially that you haven't spoken with him. I don't know if this will help or not, but my dad is a doctor and he frequently refers to pneumonia as "the old man's friend" because he says it is one of the most peaceful and painless ways for someone to die. I will keep you in my prayers.
Oh, I am so sorry you and your family have to go through this - especially at a distance. I'm holding you all close in my heart.
