hubby not doing so well
he's had episodes of what nurses from hospice think are TIA's. Twice this week very unusual. He was awake 70 hours straight, was giving him lorazapam, haldol and morphine, after 4 doses of morphine over the day yesterday he finally fell asleep around 10 pm. Sleeping most of today, no meds given at all but his breathing is somewhat noisy and he has not eaten and only took two sips of ice tea. His speech is somewhat slurred. Being told his could be him transitioning but he has done this in the past and came "out of it" but never lasted this long.
Have him on oxygen all day also unusual When nurse came it was 78 to 85. Is us in low 90's with 02.
He was halluncinating very badly. said he talked and saw his mom and she is worried about him and wants him to go to the drs. She has been dead for years. : (
Told to give him morphine if breathing gets harder for him.
I'm so tired but afraid to go to sleep.
