I have ever since I worked as a tech in the University of Nebraska Medical Center ICU back in the mid-90s. There's something to it. I think it's working the magic on our family right now.
Dad didn't have a very good day. He looked pale tonight, was very lethargic, and not making a lot of sense about the things he was talking about. He did wake up a bit for dinner - which he inhaled, but then got sleepy and starting dozing off before we even left the room. He did get a brief visit from baby Kaitlyn tonight - and you should have seen that little girl turn her head towards Grandpa's voice when he was talking to her. She wasn't exactly in top notch form, as she had just returned from being diagnosed with a double ear infection; but she still smiled and really focused in on her Grandpa.
We still don't know what the plan is for tomorrow. Brookstone did come up for an evaluation, but he barely answered questions and didn't respond very well for the nurse. Based on how he looked today, I'm not sure how they can discharge him from the hospital. . .but he's stable medically (we think) but just not strong at all in physical or cognitive functioning.
Tomorrow will likely be a whirlwind of a day; or it could be quiet. Who knows. Considering it will be a full moon, I'm expecting chaos.
