Thank you... So far he is doing ok. There has been a change recently with some swelling in his lower legs from fluid build up. Hospice nurse tells me that is early stage heart failure. His heart isn't pumping strong enough to get good circulation. Also his breathing is starting to get worse. I go visit him 3-4 times a week and after about 45 minutes he starts to struggle with his breathing and needs a hit off of his rescue inhaler. At that point I know its time to end my visit.
Tougher days are ahead, but for now I enjoy what time I have left with him.
