Neil very low/emotional today. Our kids are here, my sister and her hubby and her kids arrive tomorrow. It will be quiet when everyone leaves.
We had a busy morning. The chaplin came followed by the grief counselor, followed by the social worker, followed by the therapy dog.
Then someone came to turn off Neil's debfrillator... very traumatic.
It has served him well. He is totally paralyized. he cannot move his body at all.
So hard for someone who has been such an independent man to be so dependent.
He hates being so dependent and feels safest and most comfortable in bed.
Today he is alert and seems to be enjoying all of the company/attention.
Saying goodby to people is always heart wrenching.
It is very beautiful here at the Ellenton Hospice House.. we have a large room with comfy chairs and sofas and a screened lani. We have pond view and there is a cow pasture. There are beautiful gardens with an orchid house and an herb garden.
The workers here are all so nice/kind/attentive. They will reasses him on Tues or Wed.
