Nurse said they have him on the adavan and have increased his morphine. He is changing color, which indicates his organs are shutting down. The ex-girlfriend of his was supposed to handle all the funeral and creamation details. She's been telling me that for 5 days. I called her and told her what was going on. Guess what. She has made no phone calls or had any contact with anyone rerarding creamation or funeral. I got ahold of someone just now, so we will be good to go. I hate most people. A phone call from to let me know she didn't follow through sure would have been nice. I hate most people.
Kathy is at hospital with her mom. She is doing good. Many thanks for the concers. Means a lot to me.

So sorry that now that is thrown on you at the last minute as well, if people would just be honest and do what they say they will do the world would be a better place.
If you need anything please let me know. I do everything but Windows.

It may sound bad but hope he goes soon. It does no one any good to let him linger and suffer they way he has been. You and Kathy are in our thoughts Tony.

Thanks Hank. I talked to the nurse at around 4:30 this morning. She said his breathing is very shallow and today should be his last. I agree, it makes no sense to me to see him this way. The should be able to do something, but there are "laws" they have to follow.

Tony, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. It sounds like you have been preparing yourself for a while. I hope that he doesn't suffer much more.

Just got off the phone with the nurse. I am as shocked as she is that he is still living. Still on the morphine drip and atavan. Hasn't eaten in 3 or 4 days. She said he has opened his eyes a couple of times, but is unresponsive to her talking. When she came in at 7 last night, they told her he would be gone by this morning. He is a fighter, but I don't understand why he is still hanging on. It was his choice to go on the morphine drip as opposed to another round of the ventilator.
Kathy's mom is going in at 2 this afternoon for a pacemaker. She was supposed to start therapy today, but I guess not. She will come stay with us when she gets out.

All the best for Kathy's mom. My great aunt, turned 101 in June, fell about 5 years ago. If was on a cement basement floor, she busted up her eye socket, pressure caused her to lose sight in that eye. She didn't want to stay in the hospital and the very next day fell and broke her leg. She's tough as nails though, still lives alone and still going strong. My uncle lives close and does her shopping and get's her to her Dr's appointments but she goes out with her friends to lunches and card parties all the time. She's busier than Lynda and I are.
So hopefully this is just a temporary glitch for Kathy's mom too.

My brother Chris died at 4:54 this morning. When I spoke to his nurse last night around 9PM, she said they were considering moving him from the hospital to an assisted living facility. He must of heard that conversation and said "hell no, I aint going there", and called it a day. He was adamant he wasn't going into one of those places. R.I.P.
Kathy's mom had the pacemaker installed. She seems to be doing OK. Will know more in a couple of hours.
