Just a brief update tonight. No dramatic changes over the last few days, but there are definitely subtle changes. Dad's appetite is very poor, and has been for awhile. His intake of food and fluids remains poor. It's hard to chew and he's just not hungry. The arm weakness is worse. The breathing is tough, and a little more so today. He has used the bipap some the last couple of days. He's using a little bit of morphine, but not nearly as much as he could, and not nearly as much as he probably should. His night time sleeping is better the last few days, but he definitely prefers the recliner, with his knees up. He is quieter, and talking a bit less. He just looks and feels weary.
We've had such good support from so many people. You know who you are and we love you! It brings to mind a quote.
"Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." Oprah Winfrey
