Journal entry by Rachel McCorry —
Dan continues to do well in hospice with monitoring and medication for his symptoms. He has lost a large amount of weight and is, overall, feeling better than when we went in to the hospital 5 1/2 months ago. He still has the Pleurx drain in place to remove fluid from his abdomen three times a week and does battle with significant fatigue at times. Over the last few months he has had many visitors from near and far and loves seeing his children on a weekly basis. He almost always has the Great British Bake-Off on tv and enjoys Thursday night virtual Dungeons and Dragons games. While his condition is still terminal, Dan's outlook and attitude have remained bright and cheerful. Both facility and hospice staff have commented many times on how Dan's spirit of resilience and hope brings great joy to everyone he encounters.
