Update on Dad (longish read)

Dad's been declining.
Since he's got decreased kidney function we thought it might have been a buildup of Morphine in the kidneys. It's not.
Hospice Nurse left about 3:30 today.
Dad's condition hasn't improved any since we haven't given him a morphine pill since yesterday. The morphine should be out of his system or mostly out.
That tells the nurse that Dad is in physical decline.
She'll be stopping by everyday now.
She's guessing he's got 7-10 days left.
He struggles swallowing so we're not giving him his prescriptions or supplements anymore.
We switched him to 0.25 Oral Morphine for pain.
The nurse pre filled some syringes for us.
She's also bringing oral Lorazepam for him. Just in case.
He was struggling a little to breathe so we put the oxygen on him and since he had a bloody nose we added a humidifier to it. Takes distilled water only.
