Well, it seems no two days are the same. Yesterday Cleve was awake for a good portion of the day and today he slept most of it. It was difficult to get him to take his medication because he was so asleep, and that also made it hard for him to swallow. He did wake up in the evening when his oncologist stopped by to see how he is doing. It was such a nice surprise. Unfortunately, later in the evening he had some anger issues which seems to be yet another side effect of the cancer. Damn cancer. But in between these instances we get to see little glimmers of Cleve here and there. Denise, the hospice nurse came by the house today as well and it is always a pleasure to see her. She has a very comforting, soothing nature. We reviewed Cleve's medications, noted the drastic difference between yesterday and today, and she also noticed that his breathing is starting to slow down as well. Because of this, as I said before in my last post, we are limiting visitors. I think what me and my fellow caregivers have decided is that if you are notified, you are welcome to visit for a short amount of time, otherwise we ask for your understanding and cooperation in helping us create the most quiet, comfortable environment as possible for Cleve to finish out his days. I'm sure this is disappointing to some of you, and I am truly sorry, but he most likely won't remember your visit, and I would like you all to remember him as he was. As always, the tremendous out pouring of love and support has been phenomenal and we thank you so much.
