We have been sorry to be so far from our friend as he battled ALS. A few visits and phone calls seem so inadequate. Now the end is near and we are keeping vigil from 1500 miles away.
This last severe pneumonia (probably the fifth in a year) has hastened the end. An abscess has caused a hole in one of his lungs.
His adult daughters and a brother and sister in law have flown in to be with him and his wife and younger daughter. He is sedated for comfort, and tomorrow the endotrachial tube the hospital put in will be removed. This is our friend's decision.
