After having spent more than 2 days with her Dad, the good news is that he will NOT be going into hospice care at this time.

He is suffering from some dementia and is very frail, but alert, animated, responsive and in no pain. He gets along as well as can be expected with the care staff that he states wants to poke him in the arse, and is able to have simple conversations most times.

There is no way he's coming home while salsa dancing, but given his condition, he's not as bad as was expected.

He's recieving very good care, one of her sisters works in a nursing home, Rosa has worked hospice, and they were both very impressed with the level of care, staff, and facility.

When she walked into his room, his first words spoken were:

"Where the hell have you been, and quit drinking that cheap sh*t beer" (she quit drinking a long time ago, lol)

He'll be made as comfortable as possible, without pain and suffering.

Rosa wishes to thank everyone that has posted and welcomes the comments you've all made in these difficult times.

Thank you all very much for your prayers.

Paul & Rosa
