Saturday, October 18, 2014 I'll take Coffee...

Right, I'll have coffee. The nurse on 2nd floor was concerned, Mac was sick last night, throwing up, (green bile). He hadn't eaten all day, just coffee, and that was it, Wednesday and Thusday , actually ate some supper both days (and that's about all - supper is about a cup of food)..and some Boost in a milk shake. We were concerned today, after being sick last night and this a.m. .. The nurse was thinking "hospital" but he got better and did eat some lunch at about 1;30 and bits till 3:00 .and so I was hoping to give him supper and tried, but no way..and then he said right, I'll have coffee...yikes, I've got to get him on Boost tomorrow for sure...
Life is getting hectic, trying to get him to eat, trying to give him his pills (he spits them out) and making sure he does some walking - if only in the building, even though he is so weak, it's apparently good to do this to have him get an appetite and of course I want him to be able to walk and sitting won't do it.
Eating can take all afternoon, a bit at a time..but this is what I'm going to have to do. Each day is a challenge and each day is different,except for the fact that he is still fighting the poor preposees who want to get his clothes off and p.j.s on for bed.
So what's the good news..actally not much except that music still turns him on, and so he listens all day..When we go up and down in the elevator, oh by the way, he never stopped doing that even though he can be afraid to get on, we always manage..and I sing to him and we pretend to dance in the dark the elevator is kind of dark..and of course we don't do this when there are others there. I'm still singing songs that he tries to give me the words for...i.e. Come aboard the ???? (he'll say A. train). Though his memory is slowing down for most songs now..except we both jiggled around to Hey Bob a Rebob today...what an oldie that is...
I'm putting this on my blog to keep in mind that he was sick last night - and almost had to go back to hospital.thank God he is still here ..and hopefully will be here for tomorrow and tomorrow,,,g'nite..
