This Morning

Good morning everybody,

Dad shocked us again proving I can't predict a thing he's going to do. Last night at 2 am he woke up & did the whole "I have to go pee!"-thing. I woke up when he was starting to lift himself up in bed. He wanted to sit on the side of the bed so we helped him. He could just support his weight & barely keep himself sitting up his arms were so shaky. He was pretty agitated again & felt like he needed to pee so bad. We gave a dose of Morphine & he settled right down. Then we put him back to bed & gave him some more Ativan. He slept the rest of the night. This morning he's still sleeping. He wouldn't swallow his morning meds, he wouldn't open his mouth for us at all. So we'll wait on those. His heart rate is a little fast at 110 & his temp is 100.8. He feels a little clammy so we took the blanket off & opened up his shirt a bit (the macho man look). Mom had put the blue recliner right next to the bed & slept there all night while I slept in the twin bed downstairs.

We shall see what today brings. Mom is ok, she just got him to take all his meds. We're having breakfast in the living room, want to come?

and.... H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y F R A N K !!!!!!!!!!

lots of love,
christy
