Okay, I think it is really starting to sink in. Dad was having what seemed like stroke after stroke today. It is such a strange thing to watch. He is very, very sleepy today but when he is awake and trying to talk you can see him all of a sudden stop, he stops talking, he stops moving, he seems like he is not there and then he comes back.
The hospice social worker stopped by today. Dad really enjoys all the hospice workers that come. He brightened just a little today when he came in. I guess in the months previously dad has commented on how much he likes Jeff's (name has been changed because I don't know if it is appropriate to share the name without permission) hat. So today Jeff brought dad a hat. My dad loved it. He looks so cute in the hat. Here is a picture.

You will have to excuse the little mess on dad's shirt. He was having a little milkshake this morning and he made a little mess. I am so proud of my mom, she is really working hard to back away and not fuss over dad so much. He doesn't like it when she fusses much and it causes him stress. This was a very brief time where dad was alert today. The rest of the day he pretty much dozed off and on.
