You can really tell how much a man is blessed not by his riches, or how big his house is, or fancy cars he may drive, but by how he is loved by family and friends. The outpouring for visitors to come see dad is so overwhelming on some days - I forget how many lives he has truly touched. It just makes me so proud to be his daughter and it makes me proud to know that I am a daddy's girl - as I am sure Amy and Jen feel the same way.
Had to call in hospice again today - it was for pain but is was also more for dad. He wanted to know why he is having hallucinations not all of the time and he hates having a groggy feeling, but it is all part of the whole thing. They went ahead and increased his medicine and are switching one of the other medicines around to see if that helps.
We go tomorrow to get his stomach drained - I believe it is around 1:00 - so I will post tomorrow afternoon. Dad appreciates the visitors - he actually perks up and really enjoys it.
We are truly, truly blessed to have so many family and friends. You wish everyone could be so blessed.
Thank you Rick C for the comment yesterday - it is so true.
Much love to all,
I couldn't have asked for better parents and yes i am proud to be daddy's (secret favorite) little girl!!
