happy birthday, mom!! dad's still with us.
judge me all you want, but that's been in each of our heads so the gorilla in the room get acknowledged. i stayed here last night as i couldn't bring myself to leave either of my parents. dad didn't get up once during the night-- and he still isn't up today, but i've talked to him and got a response.
no fever, congestion or pain. no meds, no liquids or foods. no wet bed as far as i can see or smell. no slurring of words. yes, he rolls over in his bed, he opens his eyes, he talks but without clarity. i told him it was mom's birthday and he seemed to want to wish her a happy birthday but promptly closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
i've placed a phone call to the doc-- need instructions and/or moral support. haven't heard back from him yet so mom and i do our thing and do our best to create distractions for each other.
mom is enjoying on line birthday cards and several phone calls. another nice distraction.
there seems to be a lot of coincidences happening these last few days..... but i prefer to declare these as god's way of letting me know he's really busy handling things. it's all yours, sir.

I hope you get a hold of the doctor soon. How long has it been since he has urinated? That has me a bit worried.
Happy Birthday to your mom. I'm glad she has been able to find some enjoyment in the day.
