Falling....

Last night we got Dave up for dinner. Tim and Catherine C-S were here. He was so weak we just took him to the deck for about 10 minutes...some freash air. Got him back to bed. He was able to tell us "yes" when asked if he was in pain. We crushed, diluted and concocked his seizure med and Vicodin and he was able to take small amounts in the side of his mouth. Also gave him Tylenol suppository and got him tucked in for the night. I put the oxygen on...thought it wouldn't hurt.

I slept until 8:30 and thought Dave was breathing more labored. He hasn't been responding much today. Continues the low grade temperature. He moved his legs in the night and had them crossed...he looked so comfortable I couldn't move him. Probably should have, he started a couple pressure ulcers were his legs crossed. Alison and Mark got here late morning and we gave him another Tylenol supp and got him repoositioned. It was yard work day- Lisa D, Elisa and Piot came over and got a lot done...Thanks Everyone.

Around 2 I called Hospice and they recommended Ativan to help with the breathing. When there was no real change in an hour the hospice nurse came over. Dave is falling quickly. I already knew he was going into skin failure. We're giving meds for pain and his resp. I think he'll be gone this weekend.

I don't really know what to do about this evening, don't really want to cancel. Dave and I are here, Maki's and Rasmussen's are here...friends are coming...love to all.

peace, love, groove
