It's college game day and Dad has slept through most of the WVU game, all of the Georgia Tech game, and he is still sleeping. It's been a 7 hour nap - so far. I woke him up an hour ago to see if he wanted anything to eat. He was so groggy he could barely sip water, but he did complain about his chest so I gave him a low dose of morphine.
He slept from 8:30 pm last night to 7 am this morning. Lib gave him his morphine at 7:30, then he slept again until 11! At that point we gave him the rest of his morning pills, some Cream of Wheat, and moved him to the BBC. He stayed awake for the first part of the WVU game, and has been out ever since.
Soooo, there's not much to write about. Libbie left about 1:30, Molly and Coleman came to visit Gramps but Gramps was not awake, and otherwise it has been a very quiet day. Mom has been doing laundry, washing dishes and reorganizing the frig. Pretty boring for her, I'm sorry to say.
It could be tough to get Dad back into bed if he can't help us, so we may leave him in the recliner. He truly seems to sleep much better in the chair than in bed, but he has objected to sleeping there. Dad has liked to maintain his routine and we've been happy to accommodate him. My only concern at this point is getting his evening pills in him, which are necessary to keep his body functioning as well as possible. We'll see what the night has to bring...
