Dad has requested that the whole family come to the hospital this afternoon, so I am taking the day off from work. He is requesting to be on morphine now during the day as well as anti-anxiety meds because he gets anxious about trying to breathe. He is taking the morphine because it's too much work to try to breathe. He will soon be too out of it to talk to us coherently on the morphine combined with the ativan, so we're all going today to say our goodbyes. As of last night, my dad told me he thinks he has about 1-2 days left here.
