I woke up at 1 AM and Gary had a 103.4 fever. I have been hydrating him for days and he has been drinking but has little urine output. My thoughts and fears is that this tumor in his bladder is either doing 1 of 2 things. It is either growing partially in front of the super pubic tube or it has caused a tear in the bladder wall and he is leaking into his body. Now, I am not a doctor and I could be totally wrong.
We might have to go to the ER today instead of waiting to call doctors tomorrow. I do not want him to become septic. I am going to wait and see how he is doing to make a decision. I think at this point (although he is not ready to give up by any means) I need to get Hospice on board because they can help with all of these decisions.
I just wanted to give you a brief update to let you know what was happening with Gary.
I hope you all have a very blessed Sunday!
Love, Lisa

I couldn't sleep either....I know hospice has a "finality" ring to it, but the people are so caring and they are definitely in their positions for all of the very right reasons.
When we did hospice for my father, we had someone "assigned" to us and it was so nice to be able to pick up the phone and just call. Also, in my Dad's home state, all of his meds were covered, including IVs, they sent over homecare givers, etc., and the nurses had great conversations with my dad.
Please know that you, Gary and the boys are always in our prayers...Lori & Matt
I know this is a most difficult decision. My experience with Hospice was truly amazing....they are a wonderful group of people all looking out for the very best interest of Gary; which is the ultimate goal! With your very capable and loving hands, God's love and protection, and a helpful companion to help you along this journey you can't go wrong.
Our hearts and prayers are with you today and always my friend.
Love you,
Michele, Steve, Hailey & Jake
