Shower Time

Con & Gabe helped Dad shower up in the tub - today it was con's turn to be in there with him. So lots of fun getting him there & back to bed.

Dads not making eye contact when talking to people - maybe the pain killer?
Shots of pain killer - no, not able to swallow very well, so going in thru the IV

Despite being off the TPN, he's not completely dehydrated.
He's fighting despite physical deterioration.
He's very very slowly dying at this point. Fighting death.
Continues to fight everything. Brushing his teeth. the pain medication.
Up every hour last nite. Everyone asleep last night by 9:30pm, he was up at 10:15pm
up multiple times, but did manage to sleep from 5 to 8am

Must be weird dreams - cause dad wanted to go outside & try his camera.
Another time, wanted his pliers.

Cheryl (traveling Nurse) may be coming to remove the port today.
