Not sure what's going on with Les...
The last several days have been very quiet for Les. He is back to staring off into space for long periods, not saying much, if anything, and at times starting sentences that he cannot finish. His hands continue to shake quite a bit, which makes eating and drinking difficult. He often has his hands folded on his chest or holds on to the rails of the bed so they don't shake as much. He does eat pretty well, but getting him to drink continues to be a struggle. He really doesn't seem to be interested in anything (TV, newspapers, stories about things going on in town, etc.) His vitals are good, he isn't really in any pain, and he doesn't have a fever. We struggle with how to help him communicate or get him interested in anything. Please continue your prayers for Les and Mom. We appreciate you keeping them in your thoughts.

Carolyn;
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that Les was alert when we came to say goodbye. We drove to Wichita on Wednesday, and then on to Fort Worth the next day. It rained a lot on Thursday. You hang in there Carolyn....please give my regrets to Judy. I will make sure to see her next time I come.
