Changes

Not long after I wrote yesterday's post, Dad suffered a grand mal seizure so severe that his entire body raised from the bed. Afterward, he complained of pain, probably due to the extreme contraction of muscles that he as a bedridden patient no longer uses. Mom gave him medication for seizures and pain, and he slept for the rest of the day.

My sister told me that his speech was very slurred last night, and we don't know if this symptom is medication-related or a new stage. The hospice nurse is visiting today, and hopefully my mother will receive some answers to her questions.
