thank you all for your comforting thoughts. It really does help ease the pain, to share this. Of course Ive been talking to other friends and family as well. I agree with you Ebarnacle that hemo might probably have been the better treatment. The reason the doctors recommended pd is because of his end stage heartfailure, he had a bad valve -which he was probably born with because he was told about it back in his army days. I think since hemo removes a lot more fluid - it might be more strenuous on his system. ONe never knows. But the last few months his blood pressure had been slowly dropping. thanks again. I will make a post about him in the fathers day thread.
