3 of 27

Out of 27 hours, my dad was awake a mere 3 hours today. He went to bed at 7 last night and got up at 8 am. By 9, he was back sleeping until 2 pm when I woke him for lunch. By 3, he was sleeping again until 8, when I woke him for dinner. At 9 pm, he told me, "I'm tired". So off he went back to bed for the night. It is safe to say that he was really tired today, but why? His breathing was very labored today, especially after a trip to the bathroom or walking down the hall. While he was sleeping, his breathing was very loud, and the exhale sounded like gurgling. He has been talking a lot in his sleep, laughing out loud, and howling. What is this????

I'm disappointed that I don't have any results from his ultrasounds of a week ago. No news is good news? I called the doctor's office twice this week and they said the doctor hadn't "signed off" on them yet, meaning he hasn't read them yet??? I asked if he would please call with results, nothing or something, and they agreed.

His belly is very swollen. I never remember seeing my dad with a belly, ever. But without his shirt this evening, in those fashionable elastic waisted pants, it was clear that the swelling? is not down. (looks like he's about 7 months pregnant) I put my hand on his tummy and it was rock hard. His heart? That's my guess, but who am I to say that. Just a hunch.

And so I wait for results and wonder what I will do with them? I just want to know.
