The Hardest Post

For once, I am at a loss for words.  With all the posts I have written, I never imagined myself writing this one.  Dad's condition has deteriorated since the last time I posted.  Indeed, on Sunday night, he wasn't interested much in eating.  We got the phone call Monday afternoon from the care home to say that dad wasn't interested in eating, drinking or taking his medication.  On top of that, he had a slight fever.  When I saw him Monday afternoon, I couldn't believe it was the same dad who had been sitting up, eating some meat, potatoes and three scoops of ice cream a couple of nights prior.  He was exhausted and sleeping. In the past, he has rallied, and pulled through.  This time, we know it is different... they are doing all they can to keep him comfortable.  I will post more when I can.
