He's in ICU right now, and his liver has stopped working. His organs are failing, but he keeps hanging on. He has a strong will to live, and I just wish God would take him home, so he wouldn't keep suffering!!! He's in a lot of pain -- they're trying to keep him comfortable of course. But I HATE to see him suffer.

So that's where I am right now. I know this won't last. I hate depression. I've been depressed since I was a small child, so I'm no "newbie" to it. YUCK.
(((((((Lee)))))) I'm so sorry your son is dying It must be so painful to see him suffer. My thoughts are with you both.
