  1. Hi family -

    Got to see dad a little bit today (been on antibiotics for three days so I should be safe!). Boy is he talkative! I think he's lonely. The physical therapist came today and he got to stand up. He is bound and determined to walk out to his kitchen! He still has the catheter in so he can't go far anyway, but he is very weak and said it was hard but he says he will work through the pain and weakness. He has gotten very thin so we are giving him anything he wants (pretty much). We are trying our best to not leave him alone with the psycho sister and she is complying by using her drugs and staying in bed (prescribed). He is still hallucinating. His doctor is coming to the house on Tuesday so we will have a list of questions for him, one of which is to see if he will put him back on a regular old-fashioned sleeping pill, as needed, instead of the Remeron (Ambien is definitely out of the question -- MAJOR hallucinations with that stuff).

    One of the these days (maybe tonight) i'll set up a free account on a picture site so you can see who you have been praying for.

    I don't know how much time he has left. The one doctor gave us no hope but daddy, well, he WANTS to live. His time is between him and his Creator.

    I have to go buy new printer ink (I though I bought it last week but if I did I can't find it!) so once I do that I'll print out that thread and read it to him. He will be tickled!

  8. He has an amazing spirit. :)
    Also I've had more pts complain about bad side effects from Ambien than anything else. Some complained of sleep eating,even sleep driving.
