things have calmed
Robin is staying overnight at the hospital, i will do it tomorrow night as we are taking turns.
Things have seemed to calm down since yesterday, we spoke to the medical director of the palliative care unit this morning, he came to clear up any more questions/confusion still present about Dad's condition. First thing he did inform us was that it would be impossible to predict how fast this whole process may take. The 48 hour notion seems to be irrellevent and impossible to claim at the moment. We have no idea how the clot, or the hemorrhaging are going to progress so there is no way to predict any type of timetable. All we can do at this time is make him as comfortable as possible for as long as possible.
He was much more fluid/aware today which was a pleasant suprise. He is still consistently on morphone so he tends to forget things but he was able to respond with more clarity and speak in more complete sentences than he has since i have been here which was very nice. Robin and i got to spend a lighthearted hour or so with him while mom was at dinner joking around, he even broke out in laughter a couple times which was SO nice to see. I especially was very happy to have had some quality time with him where we could actually carry a conversation. His vitals are good at the moment and he seemed to be doing well, he is not in pain, he is just feeling some discomfort from being bedridden for so long which is to be expected.
So all in all we are pleased, . However, we also realize that today may be an isolated incident. We just have to take it one day at a time and see how he does. We have been reading all of your lovely messages to him, and he definitly hears them and we know that he appreciates all of your thoughts and your prayers.
we will keep you updated
