Oakie Grandfather: Still hanging in there
http://oakiegrandfather.blogspot.com/2009/11/still-hanging-in-there.html
Ed going though a radiation and chemotherapy regime. Thursday, November 5, 2009. Still hanging in there. Mom is slowly gearing up for her trip to Arizona. She's thinking ahead to grandkids' birthdays and mailing deadlines, not to mention getting her stuff packed. I think she could have had a career in logistics for the military. Thanks for the wonderful blog comments. I appreciate them. I'll let you know how the CT comes out tomorrow. November 5, 2009 at 5:04 PM. November 5, 2009 at 7:13 PM. Hope you are...

Oakie Grandfather: Another slow day
http://oakiegrandfather.blogspot.com/2009/11/another-slow-day.html
Ed going though a radiation and chemotherapy regime. Monday, November 2, 2009. I am a little frustrated that I don't get to see Dad interact, but they are keeping him quiet to help his lungs get better and keep him comfortable. The nurse early this morning had him awake enough to respond to questions with yes and no. Dad was able to say he isn't in any pain. Then they raised the sedation a bit to keep him from being agitated and working against the ventilator. November 3, 2009 at 7:37 AM.

Oakie Grandfather: Farewell Dad
http://oakiegrandfather.blogspot.com/2009/11/farewell-dad.html
Ed going though a radiation and chemotherapy regime. Thursday, November 12, 2009. Dad passed away about 11:30 today. Mom, myself, and Christie were by his side holding his hands. Last night he was nearing the limits of what doctors could do for him. We had called the family to Tulsa to be with him today and to ensure that his passing would be peaceful and respectful of his wishes. His body just wasn't able to hold out any longer. He was not in any pain. November 12, 2009 at 1:41 PM. My heart is broke.

Oakie Grandfather: Tuesday T

Ed going though a radiation and chemotherapy regime. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Hopefully Dad's lungs will get better so we can start getting him off the ventilator and the drugs that go with that. I was glad that he knew I was there. Mom is still doing OK. She's looking forward to visiting Carla for a few weeks around Thanksgiving. She keeps a schedule that would feel busy enough to me. November 3, 2009 at 10:39 PM. I know Ed likes good music. Does he have an ipod we can load some nice stuff on? I appre...

Oakie Grandfather: Holding steady
http://oakiegrandfather.blogspot.com/2009/11/holding-steady.html
Ed going though a radiation and chemotherapy regime. Wednesday, November 4, 2009. I talked to Dad briefly tonight. He started to open his eyes a bit but he seemed pretty out of it. While I was there, the nurse came in to clean and moisturize his mouth. It looked like he was keeping his mouth open for the dentist until that was done. He's got his radio going, but other than that it is pretty quiet in his room. November 4, 2009 at 7:30 PM. I wont say no this time.I promise. November 4, 2009 at 9:36 PM.

Oakie Grandfather: Ups and downs
http://oakiegrandfather.blogspot.com/2009/11/ups-and-downs.html
Ed going though a radiation and chemotherapy regime. Monday, November 9, 2009. Before I entered Dad's room tonight, I was getting ready to put on a gown and gloves tonight when the nurse told me that Dad was no longer in isolation. Whatever nasty bug they thought he might have apparently hasn't shown itself recently. I think about 1/3 of the ICU was under those isolation protocols. I'll count no sign of the nasty stuff as one step in the right direction. November 9, 2009 at 7:56 PM. God be with all of you.

Oakie Grandfather: Hanging in there
http://oakiegrandfather.blogspot.com/2009/11/hanging-in-there.html
Ed going though a radiation and chemotherapy regime. Saturday, November 7, 2009. Dad has had a bit of a setback Friday and today. They've currently got him breathing 100% oxygen and he's breathing faster than they'd like (33 breaths per. Today the nurse gave Dad a bath and took a new sputum sample from his lungs. Those tests take at least 24 hours to get results and up to 5 days. November 8, 2009 at 7:01 AM. Not sure what to add re. this latest report except your title says it all hang in there.
