Afternoon everyone ….
Sunday I posted that my uncle had been in the hospital since Saturday and was diagnosed with stomach cancer. They had also done several biopsies on his liver and kidneys to see if they had cancer as well.
They had done a procedure on Sunday on him. In order for him to be able to eat a doctor inserted stints in his stomach to allow food in. They were feeding him broth and ice cream Sunday.
Oh….. I forgot to mention that he forgot to grab his phone when the ambulance came to get him, so getting in touch with him was impossible. A nurse was letting him use a hospital burner phone to make calls. This is how we got the little information we had gotten. My mother was not allowed to visit due to the fact that she currently has bronchitis.
One of my uncles friends was visiting him who lived local. He was calling us with updates of what he could find out.
Monday my uncles friend called my mom asking if she had heard from him? He was no longer at the hospital. They wouldn’t give out any other information to him. My mom hadn’t heard from him.
Hours later my mom got a call from his phone. But it wasn’t my uncle it was his son Jason. He had flown in to see his dad, and they released him to go home since he was too weak for any treatments.
Fast forward to 2:38am this morning…
YEP THAT CALL…
Jason called to tell my mom that my uncle had passed away.

Jason told my mom that he was in bad shape leaving the hospital, but wanted to go home. Jason and a friend carried my uncle up his stairs to get him inside. The nurse told Jason information since he was the son. My uncle weighed 134 pounds, which was an over 40 pound weight loss in just three weeks time. He had weighed himself at our house at that time and was 178.
What’s worse is that yesterday was his 80th birthday. Sad
But he lived nearly 80 years of a fairly healthy life. No hospital visits or stays until Saturday. He did go for routine check ups, but that was once a year.
Rest in peace uncle Dave, you will be missed.

Sorry for your loss. He made it 80 healthy years which is more than most of us get, and at least he didn't suffer too long at the end! RIP Dave!
