Status (old)

After yesterday morning's adventure, Dad was exhausted. He slept all day. That wouldn't have been a problem, except it continued all day today. He fought against wearing the oxygen tube, wouldn't take any meds, refused all food and drink. He may have reached a turning point, although he is a little bit better tonight.

I talked to Linda the RN, and she said to keep at it. Wearing the oxygen tube will help avoid a lot of problems. She'll be here tomorrow to help evaluate his status.

Edie the bather was here around 1:30, and as usual she was incredible. That lady has been doing it for 36 years or so! I learned a lot about keeping my dad comfortable by watching her: making sure the sheets don't bunch up under him, etc.

He just told me he thought he was booked for 1953 at Carnegie Hall.
