Its been a rough past few days. I haven't felt like blogging... Sorry! Dad is doing ok. He is still capped and has handled it well. He is so fidgety and is constantly pulling his covers off and picking at everything. He has to stay restrained, but that doesn't stop him from grabbing stuff. Mom was with him yesterday afternoon and he got really bad. He told the nurses to get out, then looked at mom and said get out now. He said he wanted a knife and just got very irate. When the nurse came to suction him, he put up a fight with her. She called the DR and he put him on some meds to calm him down. Luckily this kinda mellowed him out after awhile. The only downfall to this medicine, is now he will probably sleep all day today and then some!
This week will be hard. Mom is going back to work and I have class. Timing isn't the greatest, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

AK, so sorry for these tough days. He had many good days over the past couple of weeks. Maybe this is just a reaction to the step down unit. Sometimes a significant change in the daily routine has a negative effect. Don
AK, sorry it's been rough...I hope things will turn around for him/ya'll soon! Hang in there and good luck w/ class. Mom was wondering...can your dad have visitors in the step down unit??
Much LOVE, Rach
