well, adding the extra dosage of medicine really isn't helping - I think it has made it worse. He was okay this morning, but this afternoon mom said is when he started the sitting in his chair and just staring, he did actually move to his recliner but he is just really weepy and he had the shakes today. Wasn't able to hold anything - it was like his wrists weren't operating.
I know it takes a while for the medicine to kick in, but it is so hard to seem him like this. He isn't in pain, but he isn't our father either. And I know if he could really see himself and understand what was happening he would be pissed and not like it either. He didn't eat much today and the medicine dosage hasn't gone up but because he has lost a lot of weight, we think it is finally catching up to him and that is what may also be causing his fogginess or talking nonsense sometimes.
He got to see Wil tonight - and it is always so emotional when he sees him, his namesake - he is proud of all of his grandchildren and loves them all, but right now Wil is the one that is able to light him up and lift his spirits and that is a good thing!!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for him and the medicine will finally kick in - all we can do is hope and pray and spend the time with him.
Much love to all,
I hope and pray today is a better day for him. he is in my thoughts and prayers.
