It was quite a long (extremely) path; taking nearly 90 days; but Dad has finally come home.Nowhere close to the circumstances we'd hoped & prayed for, but home none-the-less!
Delay after delay made today no different than the other transport days we've experienced. Plans were to head that way in the late morning, but that kept getting pushed back. Finally, the ambulance showed up & Dad headed this way.
After getting all settled in, the Hospice nurse got there and finally finished up showing us the "how to's" for Dad's care and the various comfort measures (i.e., medicines, positioning, etc) around 10pm. Whew!
Dad's respirations continue to be much higher (yesterday, as well); in the 30-35 bpm range versus 20 a couple of days ago. Fever's been running about 100 degrees, but with meds he seems to be resting pretty comfortably.
Continue to pray! Prayers of comfort, and prayers of praise for the gift we've had... the gift of time!
God Bless!
