Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Dear Harsha, My heart goes out to you. your dear father and your family You are all in my thoughts and prayers. With love, Catherine harsha (AT) cox (DOT) net Dear Friends: My father had made a great recovery and had overcome the effects of stroke and the heart surgery. He had been moved to the rehabilitation wing of the hospital and was undergoing physical therapy and was walking and talking and was expected to be out of the hospital by Christmas. Yesterday my father had excruciating pain in the stomach. It was discovered that the feeding tube that had been inserted in his stomach had been leaking the contents out of the stomach around the internal organs. Three liters of liquid was siphoned out from the stomach area. My father now has a massive infection and his kidneys are failing. He also had sudden drop in blood pressure which might have caused another stroke. The doctors are not very hopeful. My whole family is distraught at the sudden and unexpected turn of events. This has been a difficult day for me and I have been going through many desperate emotions and praying. I don't feel ready to lose my father. I ask for your prayers. Thank you for all your friendship and warmth and love. Love to all Harsha "Love itself is the actual form of God." Ramana Maharshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Dear Harsha: I will keep you and your father and your family in my prayers. I will especially remember him with the Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra, in all of its aspects. I understand all too well that feeling of not being ready to lose a parent. And I also know the anger you must feel at the problem which seems to have caused his setback. May God shower you with the strength you need for these moments.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 David Hodges <dhodges > 2003/12/13 Sat PM 06:40:42 EST > > Re: Sangha - About My Father Dear Harsha, What an awful turn of events, to have hope so quickly snatched away. My prayers and love are with you, dear friend.... Love, David Thank you David. Thank you Yolanda, Joyce, Catherine, Ram and others for your kindness and prayers. I have now found out that my father had to have stomach surgery last night. The doctors had to open the stomach in order to remove the liquids from the feeding tube that had leaked into the wrong area and have caused a massive infection. Because my father's blood pressure became very very low yesterday, his kidneys appear to be damaged and not functioning. There is also the possibility that another stroke may have occurred due to the low blood pressure. No one can tell right now. I spoke to a friend of my fathers, who has known him and the family for over 30 years. This friend of my father is also a physician who is a nephrologist (specializes in the kidneys) and in charge of Dialysis at the hospital. He was telling me earlier over the phone that more than likely he will start Dialysis on my father tomorrow. My father's friend, this same physician, was very sad and somber and told me that due to my father's weakened condition, his body may not be able to fight off the overwhelming infection despite the antibiotics. I cannot be with my father physically right now but am holding him in the warmth of my love in my heart. I was reminded of Dylan Thomas's poem about his father where he tells his father, "Rage, rage, against the dying of the light." My father cannot rage, being sedated, incubated, and again on a ventilator. I have raged for him the whole day, holding him in my heart, praying, weeping, and shouting, "God bless you Father, God bless you" and in my mind have kissed him from his feet to his head.
