Dad was unable to swallow today and we are pretty sure he aspirated. He choked a lot, so he is getting zero nutrition. Nothing works to help him rest...even the knock out shot last night failed. Tonight he had morphine. I would not let Mom and brother leave me tonight until the sitter got there. Usually they go on home and I wait for the sitter to come at 8:30, but tonight I was afraid. They waited with me. My brother broke down and cried today in the room. I'm tired!!!!!

Oh Sandy, I am so sorry. I am praying for you. I can't imagine the pain you are all going through.
Sandy, I am so sorry to hear your dad is not doing well. Bless your brother, you and your mom. I admire the closeness of your family and I pray for strength for you, the caretakers and I want you to know you are in my thoughts and most of all my prayers. Take care of yourself and please try to eat, but you may be like me, I cannot eat in these type situations whereas many will eat more. Just make sure you eat enough to keep your strength up. Know you are being thought of here in North Carolina. Take care.
Thank you to my internet friends that I have never even met! I so appreciate your kind words.
