Thanks Granite. I appreciate the support. My father in law is pretty comfortable. He's unconscious most of the time, so I think the rest of us are actually suffering a lot more than he is at this point. And when he's awake, he seems comfortable and says he's not in any pain.
Yesterday, he was sleeping comfortably, I thought, but then started frowning. I went over and touched him and asked if he was hurting. He immediately smiled and shook his head NO, but didn't open his eyes. I asked if he was just afraid he was alone and he nodded. I told him, "Well, just to let you know, I've gone all creepy, Stalker Woman on you, and I'm standing around watching you sleep so you're not alone." He started laughing, made an OK symbol with his fingers and went back to sleep. So, someone is with him 24/7, and that seems to be enough to keep him comfortable with what's happening.
