Jeanie shaving Dad the morning before he passed away

At Dad's bedside with cousin (nurse Sharin) before he passed away that evening

Today has been a fairly quiet day. We went out this morning to see Dad and he was pretty sleepy. He didn't have a very good night. They had to give him some medicine to settle him down and help him relax. He remembered that we weren't there last night when he came back from his treatment.
We tried to visit with him a little bit but he would fall asleep. Kent stopped by this afternoon on his way back from a trip and he said he was still asleep. His blood pressure is quite low so they cancelled his HOT treatment for this afternoon. He's back on Heparin and another med.
We talked to the Dr. today and he's looking at surgery next Wednesday to remove the toes on his left foot. He doesn't seem to concerned about it but we know what Dad does after surgery! Not good stuff! We just keep hoping and praying all will go well and it won't go on and on and on.
Karen left early afternoon to head back to Animas. That was so nice of her to come all that way. Thanks Frank for letting her come. Our families and friends are such great support. We love all the phone calls, visits and food we are receiving. Thank you from the bottom of our toes (no pun intended!)
We're getting ready to head back out to the hospital in a little bit - I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
