Today, he had trouble breathing and vomited his breakfast.
When I arrived it was 80. Got it to 90. After oxygen.
He walks in his room without any assistance. He’s getting weaker and weaker. He takes 2 kinds of water pills because of leaky legs, so he’s always getting up to urinate. He doesn’t want incontinence briefs. I’m scared today. Today is different.
Very sorry for the loss of your dad. Wishing you peace.
I’m sorry for your loss.
It’s good to hear that Hospice was an asset to your family!
I am happy to hear that you and your sister were surrounded by friends and family during this difficult time. It does help soften the loss to see how much love they and you have.
Hospice Was 24/7 the last five days. They were so caring and supportive. The Funeral was in Philadelphia, where Dad and Mom were born and raised, and now he’s with our Mom. So many Family and Friends….I’m home now in Florida, gathering his belongings and moving his furniture to our Home. His AL have been wonderful and caring. Until I give the keys back to AL, I have XM Seriously Sinatra playing on his Alexia 24/7. He loved Sinatra.

Is it possible for someone to take a night shift and do that for his Ativan? It might not need to be every half hour, but maybe a half dose every three hours?
It wears off after 6 hrs, He’s moaning and groaning.
May The Lord give you strength, wisdom and courage for this journey, may HE give your dad peace and comfort in his transition.
Don't try to force him to eat. That can hurt more than it can help sometimes. Hang in there.
