Daily Hospice Visits

 As I mentioned yesterday, we are now having daily hospice visits.

We had a new nurse (weekend nurse) today who visited my Dad.  She was great, very lively.  She will be visiting him again tomorrow.

He is still very weak.  But his mind is working.  When we talk to him and ask him questions, he will answer us with a word or two.  He is still aware of his pain, what he's feeling, and knows what is happening around him.  

Dad was able to have his sister and brother-in-law visit today.  He's aware when people are there.  When you say his name and try to get his attention, you can talk to him for a little bit......but most of the time, he'll fall asleep halfway through what you are saying.  Ah, it is what it is.

That is really the update.  Not a lot of change.  He still sleeps a lot.  He's awake for a little bit of the day, and that's the gist of it.

We are just trying to keep him as comfortable as possible.

Until tomorrow.  Good Night!
