Thursday Update

Thursday, 6:00 pm Update
Just spoke with Gail, Larry's hospice nurse felt he was having more pain than originally thought, so they increased his dosage of morphine and ativan and are also giving it at more frequent intervals. Gail says Larry is mostly sleeping now, everything else remains unchanged. It's been a quiet day at the hospital, just Gail, Chris and Steve were there today.

Gail came up with a really awesome idea to honor Larry, it's gonna be a lot of fun (Larry would definitely approve of this!). I'm not going to give out the details now, but stayed tuned later for more information.

Thursday, 7:00 am Update
Good Morning. Again, I will be away from my computer most of the day (gotta go to work!) so I will not be able to post updates frequently today. Just keep those prayers and good thoughts coming. Gail and Larry are so incredibly blessed to have such great friends. I know Gail has an appointment this morning that she is trying to go to, so she will not be at the hospital until early afternoon. Steven and Chris will be with Larry this morning.

I will be in Chicago for work next week Wednesday & Thursday. My plan is to come to the hospital one of those days to see all of you! Please email me with your cell phone number and we can talk.

Thank you so much for taking the time to send the email update with the link to the blog - what a tough time for all of you. This reminds me much of what my father endured with his Parkinson's, broken hip & ultimately pneumonia. You're in my thoughts & prayers.
