      Hi everyone,

      My dad passed away peacefully this morning. My mom was right there with him. Even though his brain tumors had gotten better from treatment his brain was clearly damaged.

      Yesterday morning he ended up with pneumonia and sepsis. His oxygen level was only at 65% even with oxygen support.

      The doctors are saying that the damage done to the brain was a combination between treatments and the numerous seizures he suffered. They had never seen a case like his and can’t really understand what exactly happened.

      At the end he was barely responsive and was getting gradually worse with each passing day.

      I want to thank you for all your support in the past nine months. Much love to everyone and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

      Annie

                      So sorry, Annie.  You were an amazing advocate for your dad.  You can be proud and at peace with that. Still, that doesn't take away your pain and loss.  Hang in there.  Celeste

                                Take care of you and your mom now…..

                                  Annie,

                                  I am so sorry to hear about your dad.  My prayers are with you and your family.  I wanted to let you know that I was following your dad's story for a while because it was very similar to my dad's.  I haven't been on in several weeks because of what has been going on with my dad.  I just looked back at your last couple of posts and whatever happened with your dad is exactly what is going on with mine.  The doctors are also saying they have never seen a case like his before and have no answers for us.  I know the pain and heartbreak and wish you peace during this difficult time.

                                  Kim
