I know I sound like a broken record, but dads condition has not changed. He's still got the ventilator tube, and uses the ventilator at night only. For the last several days he's been breathing on his own without any complications or trouble. He still has some secretions, but much less than at first. He isn't "awake" this morning, even tho' he's just had his Provigil. The nurse (Shandell) said that they may need to increase the dose. We are thinking that tomorrow will be a good day to evaluate removing the tube.
Mom and I had a good talk over coffee. Starting to think about how best to do the things that dad would regarding his condition if he were able to. Hard conversations, but we are supporting mom as a family without exception. All the kids had a chance to talk with her while we were together which was good. One thing this family does well is support one another. Mom is understandably more upset every day. All of this weighs heavy on her.
We appreciate your support and prayers.
