This morning he had a very hard time getting out of the bed. Each time he tried he would fall back and go back to sleep.His meds are keeping him dozy but this stage of the disease is also causing him to sleep.Pat talked to him about Hospice bringing a bed out for him.He finally agreed,so as of today he will be bed ridden.Our only problem is he still can become lucid for short periods and it upsets him alot to not be able to get out of the bed for bathroom duties.He hadn't had any food intake now in 4 days.When we tried to cook in the house for ourselves he got very sick at his stomach and now everyone here is on grazing foods.He has pretty much lost his voice and is waving his hands and looking into the future.They call this the transition period.
