12.4.2008

Dad is back on the bike and treadmill trying to encourage his strength and muscle quality. He has been sleeping well yet still struggles somewhat in the food department. He has been sleeping until later in the morning and sometimes wakes up in time for lunch. The desire for "salty" foods continues with an occasional craving for a milkshake.

We are noticing more lack of memory and some intermittent confusion as our journey continues. This could be from the disease, lengthy hospital stays, being somewhat confined to home, or a combination of all of the above. We know that it most likely will not improve and we understand that it has the potential of becoming much worse.

Dad thought that a salad sounded especially appetizing this evening. He ate the rest of his steak leftover from the party on Monday evening and watched a little television.

I reminded mom this evening that each additional day is a gift with a lesson to be learned. Dad has gone to bed and is looking forward to tomorrow, we will pray for the best.
