My dad was diagnosed with acute myeloid dysplasia several years ago and due to his age, he declined treatment. So, now at 66, he is in the hospital and isn't doing well. I'm very sad and devistated by this. I knew that someday this was going to happen, I just can't believe that it is all happening so sudden. I expected him to gradually get more ill, and have more time. We don't have a time frame now, but I know now, that it will be sooner rather than later.

I'm very thankful for the time that I have, I just wish he didn't have to go through this. I'm also thankful that I let me kids go with him and my mom on their vacation a few weeks ago. All my girls have talked about since they came back was all of fun they had.
