When I arrived this morning Dad was wide awake. He looked warm and felt warm. I asked him if he wanted the fan on and he said yes. While we were visiting he kept rubbing his left side and moving a drain that he has. I walked over and asked him if the drain was a problem. As I looked, it appeared that the problem was lower than where the drain was coming out. I rubbed his side and asked if it was the area bothering him. He said yes. It was become ever so evident that he was in pain. I got Natalie and we went through the process of giving him the pain medication through his feeding tube. It was about a 15 minute process due to our inefficiency and the learning curve. I am sure it will get quicker as time goes on. In about 10 minutes after the medicine was given you could see Dad relax. Dad looked a little dozy and it was past time for me to get to work. I gave Dad a hug and let him know that I loved him. <\/p>\n
I am sure that he likes seeing me every morning. I like stopping by and checking on him. I really want to make sure he is getting the rest he needs and that his pain is managed so that he can relax and be in peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
