Re: My father is not eating now. Most people in comas do hear! With Lewy, of course, it's hard to know how much comprehension there is but we should always assume that they both hear and understand.
What a devoted and loving son you are, Emanuel! God bless you!

Re: My father is not eating now. My father took his last breath at 1:31PM today. I was holding his hand at the time. It was a peaceful passing.

Re: My father is not eating now. Sending a big cyber hug your way, Emmanuel. It may be rough for a while, but remind yourself that your poor dad is no longer suffering with this awful disease, and he went peacefully with his family around. Lynn
