My dad is still hanging on. We started feeding him Ensure through the tube, an ounce every hour, he's getting more water than before and seems to have restabilized where he's at.
Yesterday my mother finally made a move to get help. My aunt and I need to leave the first week of November and it's been difficult for THREE of us to tend to his needs. She's decided he needs to go to a nursing home which is not what he wanted but has now agreed to.
He's so uncomfortable in the hospital bed and is developing bedsores. He finds it difficult to stay turned and I can tell he's just miserable. I hate watching this slow deterioration and suffering.
