Update on Dad

As you may know Dad's health has deteriorated to the point he is immobile and unable to do anything but sleep and eat. Just about like a new born baby, except he talks back. Sometimes he is all there smiling from ear to ear and sometimes like a two year old refusing to do what you want him to. We will be taking him to his Doctor tomorrow to access his and our needs. It is getting harder and harder for any of us to care for him. His long term memory is still pretty good but his short term memory is pretty poor. He still manages to ask for diet pepsi, hot dogs and chocolate. We still manage to find humor in our dealings with Dad, and he does too. This keeps us all sane, at least for the moment. We are grateful for so many around to help at a moments notice, including our spouses. I think we all could use some chiropractic care and a good massage. We appreciate all your sweet memories of him and sweet words. Although this time is hard, we wouldn't have anyone else taking care of our sweet Daddy.
