Serious Note

All hilarity aside, Dad did not seem good physically today. He admitted to being tired. His breathing sounded labored and a little wheezy. His color wasn't good, sort of ashen around the face.

I know Dad is not getting good sleep at night, still getting up every hour or so. Bill wants to ask the nurse what to do about that, but Mom is dead set against sleeping pills. She thinks they make Dad say crazy things. (As if he is so consistently lucid otherwise!) Maybe she will be open to a trial run with sleeping pills while Bill is still there. Sleep would be good. For all concerned.
