grampa died this morning at about 6:30. he was 82 years old. wednesday morning he was admitted to the memorial hospital in north conway. he was bleeding internally, and lapriscopic surgery was done on him. he was bleeding through an ulcer, and he lost over seventy percent of his blood. he had two metal bands inserted into his stomach to stop the bleeding. the following day he developed pneumonia with a fever of 104. being agitated, he had to be sedated because he was pulling at tubes and wires. friday his fever went down to 99 and i arrived with the rest of my family. we all had our hopes up, however we had a visit from the nurse who brought us down to the earth again, saying that his tempurature had gone up and that his blood was not oxygenating and so he was not making impovements. early this morning, he had not urinating, so his kidneys were failing. i pet his face, and he responded when dad whispered in his ear. we were called at 6:15 saying we should come in and at 6:35 we were called again with the nurse crying saying that he passed away. dad woke me up at 6:40 and told me. we wnt to the hospital at 9:30 or so to make arrangements and see him one last time. it was the hardest thing i've ever had to do.
he's dead. i loved Thomas Sullivan LeBaron so much. we as a family will never be the same. he is taking the underground train right now, and we are on the overground. i can't wait till i see him again, because then i will have attained his forgiveness.
