RaspBen Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 How sad, I was 10 yrs when Saturday Night Fever came out , i of course could not see the movie at that time but loved the music when i heard it on the radio. I got the album one Christmas and still enjoy hearing the music to this day. How awful Barry and family has to go thru this again.

marvin Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 For all those who suffer through this horrible disease, I hope that they find peace, healing and comfort. For all those who must be witness to their loved ones suffering, be strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Reaching out with power and energy. Those around him can touch him and talk to him. Bring in some music, too, and play it.He had just announced a "spectacular" recovery from cancer, being in remissiion. Then he went to the hospital for a blood clot in his colon. And that's usually something they look for, after any medical operation.I was wondering how he caught pneumonia, but then I realized that he had another operation. That's when people catch things.He was more suseptible to catching something then.I was about to add some things that might help, after his last announcement.They need to keep his lungs drained properly, so he can get oxygen.For now, he has to be fed intraveniously.To get a quicker gain on better health- electrolytes, and probiotics(That's a food you eat, in some yogurts) which help in bringing proper culture levels in his body, for higher and quicker recovery. What probiotics do is to regenerate energies in the body, and balance. It helps other foods eaten to work their best. People lose this, as they age.

MikeC Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Those air ionizers also bring quick energy into the air.Ionizers purify the air by dropping the bad air out (The dust and pollution in the air ). And leaving clear, fresh air to breath. Anyone can buy them at a store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharen Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 my brother and I we grew up listening to the Bee Gees a lot... We bought all their records as well as Andy's. My brother is now battling a rare kind of cancer on his lungs .. Surely he too will feel sad about Robin's condition...and hope he recovers soon.

blackhawkpat Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I thought he'd been doing better. Prayers for you, Robin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aventurine Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Well, I heard the news few days ago.I pray for Robin Gibb Andy, Mouris and Robin.....so sad.I hope he will getting well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's very sad that this is happening, and I truly do feel for Robin and his family, but he has been "near death" more or less for a few months now. None of us are meant to live forever, and if he were one of my family members, my hope would be that he didn't linger and suffer if recovery isn't in the picture... I see no sense in prolonging someone's life for a few months if those months are going to be filled with powerful drugs, side effects that can be horrendous, being hooked up to a multitude of equipment, either occasionally or full time, not being able to enjoy a meal, not being able to get around on your own, and on and on... this isn't "living", in my opinion. I speak from experience, I've seen more than one family member linger and suffer before they died, and trust me, they do NOT want to live this way. Keeping someone alive isn't always the humane thing to do. I just hope if he will never have any quality of life anymore, that his suffering ends sooner rather than later.

darlene Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's especially tragic because he worried that he would suffer like his twin, Maurice, and that's exactly what's happening. All I could think about were Andy and Maurice also. I feel deep sympathy for his lovely wife and family. And Mrs. Gibb has buried too many of her children. That's not the natural order of things.Robin, you have my prayers too.--Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping someone alive isn't always the humane thing to do. I just hope if he will never have any quality of life anymore, that his suffering ends sooner rather than later. Well said, Julia. I have patients under "inpatient hospice" care at times, and, as a nurse, I can tell you that this is one of the most rewarding things I do...helping a family through the final days or hours and doing everything I can to keep their loved one comfortable. Families are so grateful. The hardest part is usually making the decision with doctors that the time for hospice care has arrived.Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 If he can get past this pneumonia, which has nothing to do with his intestinal troubles, other than side effects of the treatment, Robin could still have a chance to keep battling...like a strong sheep!
