Sorry I haven't updated you in a while. I went away last weekend. Spring came while I was gone. Jay and Olivia took Herbie to the tennis courts with them. He took some swings and got his blood moving. His energy is really low so it wasn't as pleasant an experience for him as we'd like but at least he went along and gave it a try.
Dad's appetite is down and it continues to be a struggle to get him to drink enough fluids. I've decided not to be the nagging daughter anymore. I think it comes across like it's for me instead of something necessary and beneficial for himself. The cognitive issues complicate things to be sure.
Dad is going to Florida to visit Sherry and Brett. He will go March 24 and return April 9. He seems to be looking forward to it.
In the meantime, he will continue on blood thinners and will see the doctor when he gets back from his trip.
He looks so forward to your calls and Skype sessions and emails.
