Dealing with slight depression and stress...?!


Question:

Dealing with slight depression and stress...?

Its about my dad. I'm 15 and hes gonna be 71 July 5th. I know hes elder to have a kid this young. But he has CHF. And he goes into spells where he gets filled up with fluid and cant breathe and we have to rush him into the hospital. Its happened about 7 times over the past 6 years. His heart is only pumping 29%-33%. Both of his parents didnt live over the age of 71. He went into the hospital 3 weeks ago for 4 days and came out. Then about a week and a half later we had to rush him into the hospital because he was spitting up blood and fluid. He just came back home 2 days ago. Hes doing good. Hes short of breath though and weak. But he can walk around and that. He just has to watch it. He always gains some strength back though. Im just worried he is gonna die soon. I cant take it. Its been driving me crazy, i want to tell him what i think about it but im scared too. Its just made me feel really sad and im crying as im typing this.

Additional Details

4 weeks ago
The one other time 2-3 weeks ago he was just getting over a cold. They told him he had phemonia. And that was the reason. I dont if it is or not. I need something just to spill out my feelings on. Maybe this will help and some people can give me some advice.

Pray for him everyone please. (I know this isnt a church LOL)


Answers:

My father had his first heart attack when I was 12 years old and for 13 years my siblings and I went through the same thing you are now going through. I know it is tough and while all I can do is offer you support, you and your family are certainly in my prayers. Also if you have questions related to medical issues or simply want to talk to someone who understands feel free to e-mail me. Not only am I the daughter of someone who had CHF for 13 years, I am also a registered nurse. Take care and God Bless
