Journal entry by nicole crampton —
Grandpa had lots of visitors today. Denny and Ryan brought Grandma up to see him. She was able to get him to eat, this is a big deal! Cory, Mason and Maddie came up to visit and take Grandma back home. Grandpa has been feeling quite constipated lately. Xray showed he was quite backed up. He was given a suppository and a Magnesium drink to get things moving. Nikki and Ashley came up to visit. He was having a lot of lower back pain, stomach pain, and nausea when we got there. He was able to get to the commode and get a little out. We got him up in his chair, leg massages (He loved) and resting comfortably. Sue Ann sent a text about 5pm saying he was having a lot of stomach pain again. He was able to go a little bit, and said he felt better. Prayers continued as we don't know what the days ahead are going to be like. They did say he has a bit of Dementia ,which could be provoking things. He has good and bad days. Loves his Ensure drinks!
