Dad had a bad night last night. He was extremely restless…thrashing
about…babbling…etc. and up three times to be changed. My step mother gave him
the anxiety meds… but they had no effect.
He awoke around 9:00 am this morning…and was shaky…and
unable to feed himself or even hold a glass. Also unable to stand or do any of
the things that he has been doing.
His brother, sister-in-law, niece, and daughter came to the
house around noon. They brought baked potatoes and toppings with them. He ate
nothing, and promptly fell asleep and has slept through all of the conversation
and noise around him. He roused a bit a few times to push the covers around…but
wasn’t able to acknowledge anyone.
I hope this is just a bad day…but it is frightening. His 80th
birthday is next Friday…so I had planned to stay home this weekend and go next
weekend (it is a 3 hour drive one way), since he has been doing so well. However,
with this change in things…I will be going tomorrow morning.
