Sorry for the situation you are in.
If you feel things are really bad, don't wait. I waited , didn't know things were as bad as they were, and my father died before I got there.
Just a thought. Maybe your two brothers could contact the Hospital Liason Committee. Perhaps they could let your mom and dad know just what all the current options are that are available to him.
Will be thinking about you.
Dear ex-nj-jw,
You received some very sound advice. A relative was terminally ill and clearly had only a few weeks to live. Some family members put off going and finally did arrive - but a few hours too late. He died last Sunday.
I hope that you follow your heart. Man-made rules count for nothing in such a situation. Many of us have been in your shoes and feel for you and yours. We are so very sorry.
The best to you,
CoCo
Follow your heart friend.
We only get one Dad.
Good luck ex-nj-jw!
he's your father, you love him. Go see him. You only have one dad, so go see him. You can sort out the other stuff later.
Sad, very sad...damm skippy you love him...that love will give you the strength to face the jw drones...I don't think a hospital can refuse you addmitance, except for routine treatment when they don't want anyone in the room but hospital staff, even on the say so of another family member, your not a thrid cousin once removed, your one of his children....but I don't know
Wishing you the best, hope you go see your dad...
You need to get on a flight and see your dad.
If you don't and something more serious happens you will regret it.
Go be by his side and stuff the JW
Family is the most important thing.

Hi, I am sorry bout your dad and more sorry about your MOM. Jeez. It may be though that if you speak to her, and ask her to speak to the nurses station, then they can give you accurate information-knowing that you are not just some random person claiming to have a connection. When my son was in the hospital, there was a password we could give family so that anyone with a right could inquire about him. I don't see why your mom would object to someone else telling you what is what. I do hope you get to say your goodbyes, or better yet, that you get a chance to just tell you that you love him and then he rallies and recovers. Take care of yourself, and hug your mom whether she wants it or not-tell her it's FAMILY BUSINESS. Blessings to you!

I'm waiting for my girlfriend who is a flight attendant to call me back, she's going to try to get me flight out ASAP.
I know I won't be welcome but i have to go, if my dad passes and I don't have an opportunity to at least tell him I love him, I'll never forgive myself!
Good, I'm glad you're going to just go out there so you have nothing to regret later. My thoughts are with you and I'm really sorry to hear about your daddy.
Hi nj,
I hope that you are able to see your dad before it's too late. You can deal with all the JW crap later. Just go hug your dad and know he loves you too.
You are in my thoughts.
