Not much..

Nothing really new to report. Morphene drip started so he has been heavily sedated every since then. Met with Hospice Social Worker. Very nice and compassionate. Moved rooms to a bigger room. We have too many family and friends. Which I guess is a blessed problem to have. We actually have taken over the empty room across the hall too. But, its 8:30 and I am HOME. Needed to see my babies and sleep early tonight. Not much we can do anymore but watch him sleep.....Be back up in the morning. Sleep tight all.

Hospice

Met with Odyssey Hospice last night. Daddy is now officially a Hospice patient. Not much will change though. He will stay in the same room and everything..they will just spearhead his care. Their objective is to keep him as comfortable as possible. His blood pressure has been steadily low and his breathing is labored. They are starting his morphene drip this morning and that will help with the breathing. Just help him relax.

I stayed with him last night. It was a pretty peaceful night. Gave him adavant and morphene about 1 and he slept all night. Maury and I on the chair together sleeping was another story. Lol. Am so thankful though that he stayed with me. Made it easier knowing he was there. Thank you all as always for your continued prayers and support.

Well, where do I even begin. Dialysis didnt go so well this morning. They actually had to stop in the middle of it because they didnt think he would make it through it. They brought him back up to the room and told us they were calling in the Pallative nurse. What she does is talk to us about our options like Hospice at home, hospice at nursing home or hospice here at hospital. We have chosen to do Hospice here at the hospital. That way we dont have to move him at all. They will make sure he is as comfortable as he can be and let nature take its course pretty much. In her opinion we are looking at days. Cant believe I just had to type that. I dont know how I am even standing but I have a God that is giving me the strength. And the best family and friends. We are keeping each other standing.

I will say I did get to go in by myself earlier. Oh my goodness I am so glad I did. I sat with him and told him that I loved him more than anything in the world and that he was the best daddy and paw paw a girl could ever ask for. He told me he loved me and that I was the best daughter ever. I told him that it was okay to let go and that I didnt want him to hurt anymore. He actually put his arm around me and hugged brought me down and he kissed me. He hasnt been lucid all week so that was the greatest gift God could have ever given me in these last days.

For his family and friends that would like to say goodbyes, please come today or tomorrow. And thank you for your prayers and support.

Dialysis done. He tolerated it well. Was real agitated when he got back in. Gave breathing treatment and he fought that. Resting now. Hoping this will work so bad. This is killing me seeing him like this.

This morning update...met with kidney Dr and we are trying dialysis for a couple of days. Its our last effort to open up the kidneys. Please pray it works. If not there really isn't much left for us to do:( more later. Doing some house stuff while he is downstairs. Actually feels good to get out. Hopefully will see something good when I get back.
