Dad's health withers away with each passing day...
We can't shake him out of his blue funk. To top it all, his physical health goes from bad to worse in no time. From March to June he is in and out of the hospital or recovery home because of his diabetes. Unfortunately in June, while he is finally back home and seems to do better both physically and mentally, he hurts his left foot during a fall. That foot turns bad, and by the end of August, the doctors have to take it off to stop the gangrene from spreading. The recovery is hard but Leo never gives up. He wants to go home. After a few weeks in physical therapy and rehab, he learns he will return home as soon as his wound is clean. We are ALL happy at the good news. However, a couple days later, the doctors find new gangrene growth on his right foot and immediatly arrange for him to go to the hospital. But once again Dad has other plans. He passes on that same day before transport even reaches him. He found a better place to go to...He found his own transport...He found Mom's hand and took it. Be happy Dad. Be happy Mom. We love you both.
