Saturday

Was able to visit Dad briefly today. He was in his bed and his eyes were open when I arrived. I got what appeared to be a teeny smile. Anna mentioned that he is still eating, but not as much, turning it away sooner than he used to. He was able to make a few sounds in attempts to talk, but too weak to make anything out. The nurse had left me a voicemail yesterday. She saw Dad on Monday and Wednesday. She mentioned that he was talking on Monday, but not on Wednesday. His blood pressure was good and he had no congestion. They usually keep the TV on in Dad's room during the day and we have it tuned to the Olympics.
