FIL has passed away. He had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer before the Durga Puja holidays and we then pursued another opinion before we made our final decision. Fast forward to yesterday (Wednesday)...SIL was called over to the hospital at 730am because he had some respiratory distress, so they had put him on some oxygen and he had stabilized.
Around 530pm the hospital had again called and said that he had again deteriorated and that we should come over. DH rushed over, but by the time he had made it over FIL had already passed away. We spent the next 6 hours getting his body released before we headed to the crematorium for the final good-byes.
We had many good friends who had come over to help us without us asking and we are forever grateful for that. It is very sad that we had to say good-bye, but at least he is no longer suffering. We are now watching over MIL and making sure that she is okay and going day by day.
