Kevin is doing as well as can be expected! Just trying to think where I left off, last week when he fell for the third time in one day it caused him a trip to the ER in an ambulance. Falling was becoming daily. He had stopped breathing entering the hospital and they had to bring him back. His sugar dropped to 23! He was so confused and out of it very sleepy. It was so scary! Had three staples placed on back of head from fall hit concrete. He still doesn't remember anything about that day, and still has moments confusion.
They have him on oxygen since having trouble breathing. Still not getting much rest, even though they have it where now no more vitals or blood draws he has to be rotated about every 2-3hours he gets very uncomfortable. Lost sooooo much weight. Have him on a morphine pump, they just want him to be comfortable and not in pain. He is trying his best to keep fighting but his body is saying otherwise. Happening way to fast!
Since Friday when he was told about Hospice and that the doctors can't do anything more, he has his moments when he thinks he is going home and is adamant about it. Its so sad. And is very weird not having him here, empty feeling when I cared for him for the past five months and 24 years living together.
His mind comes and goes, very hoarse and not eating much. Loves having visitors and grateful for your love and support. He is worried about Derek and I keep trying to tell him it will be fine don't worry about that! Even though the past few days I don't even know. It's crazy the phone calls to make, funeral planning, looking around the house and seeing so much to do. Haven't been able to just sit and absorb what is happening.
I want to thank everyone who has visited Kevin, the well wishes, prayers, thoughts, gift cards, cards, flowers, and go fund donations. And everything else ❤️❤️As well as making sure Derek and I eat!
