Long day again and a tough one. Cody did finally urinate at 7 this morning but not all day. He woke up around 1 and said he did not feel right. We called Hospice to get the nurse here. She took longer than usual and he went back to sleep while waiting for her after I gave him pain meds. He sipped here and there and tried to use the bathroom but he could not. He woke up and seemed a little better. I was going to cancel the nurse around 5 and see if he could urinate and go from there. After a couple of calls, she decided to come anyway to just check on him. She said his bladder did not feel distended and she did not think he was full of urine. He is supposed to be drinking but kinda hard to do when sleeping so much. He wanted Chiplote and came to the table to eat with Moira, Bernadette and myself and he was even joking. He tried again to use the bathroom and could not so he just went to bed. It was 7pm. I started the IV fluids and he is still sleeping.
So much is running through my head, so much. It is all so unfair and this should not be happening.
Praying for a restful night and that my son feels better.
I am hoping that Cody is feeling better today and that he's drinking more so you can worry less on that account. I'm glad he can joke and is hungry. You are absolutely right, this shouldn't be happening to him, to you or to anyone! Give him a hug and kiss for us. Love to you, too.
