KML - I'll pass on the information about cannabis oil. Thanks.

LaBug and Bets - Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

So the last 24 hours has been another trying day for my father. Yesterday they had to pump water that had accumulated in his body including his lungs. He was having trouble breathing and in pain. After he got home from that, the morphine dose that they prescribed him was over the top. My Mom had to call my brother who is a nurse over to the house last night because my dad was listing to one side in his recliner, couldn't get up and was basically non-responsive. My brother said when he got over there Dad was unsteady on his feet, had slurred speech and it was clear to him he was overmedicated. My brother has communicated with the doctor regarding the dosage and they have adjusted it.

Then today Dad started coughing up blood. So off to the hospital he went and has now been admitted for at least overnight. They are going to do another dialysis treatement on him and he has some more fluid in his lungs. My brother just called and said Dad is one unhappy camper. Sigh.
