My dad received a liver transplant this past Thanksgiving Day from Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Almost exactly 3 months after he is now back in the hospital because something went wrong and its not functioning. This is the worst nightmare for anyone especially my Dad.

His liver is slowing slipping away right now and he is going on a ventilator until they can locate a new liver and a kidney for him. Now he has to do a double transplant. I am so pissed I have to deal with school and work right now. I can't leave until 9pm to go see him at the hospital. I feel so hopeless right now I hate it. All I can do is pray for him. I can look into his eyes and see he is really scared.

I wrote this cuz right now I don't know what else to do.....I have an hour left then I can go see him and I pray to God its not for the last time. Its funny, its one of those things where you always read about something bad like this happening but you never think it could ever happen to your family. Growing up nothing could stop my dad or harm him. Now I have a million different thoughts running through my head and I don't know how to handle all this.

Please God be with him. I love my Dad.

I just got back from Northwestern. My Dad passed away after he asked to be taken off all the machines and medicines he was given. He fought hard and long and I don't blame him at all for his choice. It was his, no one but he could know the pain he was feeling for the past 16 months. God bless him, he was the greatest father I could ever ask for.

God please take care of my father. I love you Dad.

RIP Mark Lagomarcino

God bless your Dad, you and your family. :hugs:

man, this brings tears to my eyes. it is so reminicent of how i lost my Dad.
but you know what is great, and not everyone gets to do this: we got to say good bye to our Dads before they died. we got to tell them how much we truly loved them, and they got to tell us how much they truly loved us... and we got to say good bye...

peace brother. your Dad is with my Dad now where there is no more illness and no more pain.

I just got back from my Dad's wake and funeral in his hometown of Hagerstown, Indiana. It was a wonderful wake we brought his prized possesions including his favorite model train, his cigar, and his camera. I got to meet one of his good friends from work, it was great to hear what he was like at work. The funeral was short and sweet. After We went back for an afternoon lunch and talked about all the great memories we had of him. It was the hardest weekend I have ever gone through, but it was really touching and great way to let him go and to have his memory live on.

God Bless. Thank you all for your words of encouragement and support.

keep ur chin up. one of those moments in everyones life where memories will either make u sad or happy. a week or so from now is when it will want to hit you in the chest. when u feel it creep on you let it out, take a deep breath and shake it off.

condolences to you and anyone else who had to witness a loved one pass on.
