home

i came home for a couple days.  sitting in grandpa's hospital room.  eleven pm to eight am.  giving our aunts a break.  i watched them be so gentle with him today, and with each other.  

he is sleeping now somewhat, but talking a lot.  pointing at things and giving commands.  and always talking to grandma.  judy, judy, mother.  

they say his sundowner has been really rough the last couple days.  today he conducted a pam board meeting, did mayoral things at city hall, and drove the bus for a while.  im pretty sure he is at pam in his dream right now.  he keeps arguing about something and they came to check because his heart rate went up.   

it's hard to see him like this.

when he gets upset, calling him grandpa seems to best calm him down.

love you all.
