Sunday update

BRIEF:  Cough and wheezing.  A little disoriented likely from the meds.

Last night, mom coughed the entire night.  It was a wet sounding cough.  She took some robitussin and mucinex along with her regular meds this morning and was finally able to get some sleep. Though, she is wheezing as she sleeps.

Today she has said she knows that she is out of it.  But prefers it to the breathing issues.  She would like to be a little less out of it if she can and still keep the breathing in control. I'm doing my best to find a balance.

When she woke up she said she had all these thoughts in her head that she knew were wrong.  Someone was missing (I told her that was probably from the ID channel being on at all times).  She said that someone was coming to spend the night with us, but it was me as me and me as the other person that was spending the night, but that there was another person that she could feel was here (I told her it was probably Daddy).  She definitely knows that none of that is real.  She also knows she is out of it. But I remember Daddy getting disoriented, too.

There is a chart in the hospice book that tries to give you an idea of time left based on behaviors/things that are happening.  She has stuff in all three columns so it is impossible to know.

When she is awake for a few minutes, she keeps saying she needs to call people and get a shower, and then falls right back to sleep.  Please forgive us for not calling.  She really wants to call people, but never has the energy (talking gets her out of breath).  And, I am just too exhausted, this blog is the best I can do.

Thanks for understanding!
