My Dads fight is finally over

11 years ago•30 Replies

Have posted the odd time here in recent months about my dad who had bronchiectasis and COPD. He's had lots of admissions to hospital in recent months with 9 IV antibiotics within 3 months. His struggle is finally over as he slipped away from us on Tuesday evening. All his family was present and it was peaceful. He was retaining carbon dioxide which made him very drowsy, he just left us peacefully. We're heartbroken as we prepare to bury him today. This forum helped me find answers about my dads illness, invaluable during the past three months. Thank you everyone.

My dad was 84 in December and only diagnosed with bronchiectasis 2 years ago. Amazingly he was driving and working up until last September. He fought hard but it was not to be.
