Fish stories
Mom and Dad are back! They got home this morning. Mom had a rough start today and has been sleeping most of the time. She used all her energy over the last 2 days catching fish! She caught the first fish and the biggest! She and Debbie spent most of the day (Monday) inside. Mom slept most and they were able to watch a movie while the boys were out fishing. Around 5:30pm or so they headed down to the Lake. Dad put mom in the boat before they put it in the lake so she wouldn't have to try and get in once it was in the water. They fished a couple hours and headed in around 8:00. Hospice nurse Peggy came out this afternoon. We gave mom a breathing treatment to help her lungs. She is having trouble getting enough air in her lungs today. She is using her oxygen which seems to help her out a little. We asked the nurse to switch her morphine med to a less potent dose. It is a 12 hour release but seems to push out too much for moms little body. The nurse comes back tomorrow and will bring more meds. (Dad sent her home with fish from the lake and veggies from the garden.... we love her!) Moms nausea is better and she is still eating good. She had a peach with cottage cheese and a piece of cheese toast for lunch.
