Mike

As most of you know Mike was released two weeks ago into home hospice. This weekend his mind started to go and he was talking to invisible people, not knowing where he was or who was with him and such. The nurse was worried about him hurting himself, i.e. falling down, etc...


Today the nurse suggested he go into inpatient hospice b/c he was having chest pains he described like a heart attack but in the center of his chest. He agreed to inpatient to help his chest pains and breathing. Without constant oxygen he has 60% saturation. His blood pressure and his heart rate along with his tempature are all over the place - yo-yoing up and down. They say that is normal when the part of the brain controlling those bodily functions start shutting down.

Once he got to hospice today he told the nurse he was a baseball player and didn't want any fuss and he was currently in Philadelphia.

On another note Bri started high school and seems to be adjusting after her first day. My older sister is still in town but since Mike came into inpatient she is leaving in the morning. Mason still has not contacted anybody in this family so I'm not sure what is going on with him.

Thank you to everyone who has called, visited, emailed and prayed.
