Just an update on dad. we all went camping this weekend and dad got a lot of socializing done with fellow camping friends. He had a great time seeing eveyone and catching up. Unfortunately I think we over did it a bit...Sunday eveinng dad had a small episode. He started to swell up in his face, got hives and a rash, and his breathing was effected. Mom unfortunately decided NOT to call the hospice nurse and decided to handle it herself. He is fine today, however mom needs to realize that these things should be handled by calling the hospice nurses. Something that the hospice nurse is going over with her again... (because I called the nurse as soon as I found out, moms not happy with me...)pretty sure she still loves me though>. Just to reassure everyone dad is good today, being a pain in the ass as normal =-)
