Elizabeth's notes:
Fairly quiet today. Didn't eat his breakfast, refused morning walk. Ate all of his lunch and did agree to an afternoon walk. He watched TV and I kept him awake as requested.
Barbara's notes:
Got home from work and he is talking to himself. Cameron tried to have a conversation with him but he went back to talking to himself. Reid had all of his salesmen over for dinner and that seemed to "wake" CP up. He interacted with everyone and seemed to enjoy telling stories. And, there were a few! LOL Everyone left at 8:30 and the activity tired CP. He went to bed at 8:40.
We are staying in close contact with the VA nursing home. They are now calling people who went on the waiting list in April of this year. CP qualified in May. So, they feel it will likely be sometime around November when they have an opening for him. It will be a very sad time for all of us, however we know that soon it will be in CP's best interest. The level of care is increasing and soon he will need care 24 hours a day. Most days we are giving him care from 7:00 am to 9:30 pm with a few bumps here and there. So, we just pray that when the time comes that he needs constant care that there will be a place waiting for him at the VA. I know how hard it will be for Reid, but also know that it will be mixed emotions when the time comes.
