tuesday, 12/18/07

tomorrow is mom's birthday.

today is the 2nd day that dad hasn't gotten up out of bed. today he didn't eat. he didn't speak more than 4 words and they weren't coherant. he hasn't taken his pills. he clothes were dry as far as i could tell.

he's sleeping-- i hear him. but there are times it takes the better part of 20 seconds to hear a breath. he's so relaxed his breath hardly makes him move, then there are moans at other times... are they dreams or is it the death rattle? i dunno. i just dunno. he's not in pain, this i do know.

mom's scared-- brother is scared... but they don't see and hear what i do. i'm scared. i looked up signs of death on the internet-- just to be sure my head knows what's what. oh god give us strength.

I'm sorry for this change in your dad. Does he still have a cold? Does he sound congested? I'm just clutching at straws here hoping it is something else besides this disease.
