in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

DH went into a facility in July.  He went in not walking and is still not able.  He was pretty good in the beginning then started getting very agitated.  Hospice is adjusting his meds once again.  These seem to be working but he sleeps alot.  I was told that once his body gets use to the meds he should be awake more.  

My visits with him have been so much better.  He holds my hand we listen to music and he tries to sing. He doesn't look at me likes he hates me. He answers me when I ask a question, maybe one word, but it makes me think he is in there and knows what I'm talking about.  

Still praying for a miracle!

    I'm glad he's not looking at you with anger! That must make you feel so much better.
