Dad was confused today. When I arrived after work, Mom was busy talking to him about what was happening.
He hasn't had much to drink today. And a couple times has gotten out of bed without her knowledge. I don't think he recognized me, or realized I was there, even though I got very close to his face.
Keith stopped by later, after I'd left to go to Austin's ball game, and remarked upon the same thing...he didn't think Dad recognized him either.
I'm hoping that he will sleep through the night. Mom is getting so tired, and her back is hurting (that half-bent position we get into when we talk to him while he's laying in bed).
Hospice has been contacted, and the first visit is scheduled for Friday morning. Please pray for Dad, a servant of our Lord Jesus Christ, and a child of God. And pray for Mom, a child of the Lord in need of His strength and love.
Again, a beautiful picture. They are the couple Kevin and I want to be like when we grow old. Could you guys maybe lie beside him and hold his hand in bed when you talk to him- that way you're not bent over- and maybe even getting a little relaxation into your day? We love you all so much.
