Still 3 more to go....

Hopefully by later today it will be 2 more to go, but we shall see. Some of the talk around the table was that some of the machines were down so far this morning.
Yesterday Sam had some visitors and seemed to be doing good so far. For supper he had a boost plus (4th one today)some fruit, and the liquid off of some collard greens. He also drank a grape juice. Everything managed to stay down! Yah! What a blessing in itself. I checked on Pop a few times during the evening and he was reading once again. The normal for Pop lately. I watched a movie with Kristin, Chad, another caregiver here and another one that finds himself sleeping in the tv room, I believe all the time. Well, I finally went up right before midnight and Pop was still reading. I picked up a book and figured it was a good time to start.
The night went well and he said he slept well. The morning always seems to bring the coughing and then the nausea and then you know the rest of the story! He did manage to get a boost plus down, but I don't believe it stayed down long enough to count. Chewing on ice has also been a highlight to what Pop likes to do.
Well, he is back to reading for now. A little later some more visitors should arrive, but hopefully Pop will feel better by then. We did get to see some of our LP people this morning and they are staying in the Hope Lodge also, but now 2 doors down or so. Please be praying that the machine is fixed and everything will go as planned at 3:10pm today!! This delay in treatment is driving Pop a little stir crazy if you know what I mean. Love, TW (the other TW)
