Thursday

Dad is not getting any more Ambien for now. The thinking here is that in not using it, he may be less confused & maybe less sleepy throughout the day. After several bad nights in a row for Mom, we're praying this may help him sleep better in the night, and be more alert during the day. Other meds have been changed also...guess it's just like a recipe and we're trying to get the right combination.

He's been drinking milk, and drinking blended soups. And, if I understood her right, he got outside on the deck for a bit this afternoon.

When I stopped by tonight after Austin's game, Dad was in bed, so Mom & I went on in the bedroom. He saw me behind her and asked, "Is that Ann?" She said, "Yes, she's come to check on you." I stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and he squeezed back, saying, "You don't need to come check on me. I'm okay." So, I told him I was checking on Mom. :-)

Hopefully, tomorrow night I'll have good news to report! Let's pray for a good night!

Love to all of you!
