oh gosh I am overwhelmed. thank you all so very much. an update...he is now unable to really speak. when I got back to the hospital at around 4 pm on friday he was still talking somewhat. I left at 2:30 am and he was no longer talking much. he did start talking out of his head without any medications...now the morphine has started. right now the only thing keeping him alive is his pacemaker. I really don't expect him to make it another 24 hours. again thank you all so very much..it really means alot to me to know I have all of you as my family.
