Wow Sunday already the days are running together for me.
Between going to Quincy to see Dad and work it is all beginning to be a big blur.
Here are some shots from today. They had put him to bed for the night by the time I got down there at 6:00 pm.
I had just washed off his face and cleaned his eyes off from all the sleep build up and gunk. Dad ate about 50 % of his food tonight not as much as he has been eating it seems his appetite is slowing down. here are his vitals from this evening I will have to type them as the nurse wrote them I know some of you will understand. 124/76 - 76 - 20- 98.4 she said his blood pressure is up from yesterday. his weight is 152.6.

Haspice commented on how Dad is still declining. He can no longer straighten his legs when he is laying down. I was going to take a picture of this but in order to show you I would have to remove his covers and he is so skinny it makes me cry. I felt that none of you would really like to see that.

Both hospice and the Nurses say it is a day to day with dad. even meal to meal. We do not know.

Just keep praying for him to have peace and comfort. He wants you all to know he loves you and you are just fine. That is what he told me. it took him a while to get it all out but he did. I think sometimes when he is 1/2 asleep like he was he talks a little better. probably because he is talking more from his sub conscience than when he is awake.

Any way I hope you are all well I love and miss you all Jo Ellen
