Arlene here. Heartbreaking to see Bill intubated again. It appears that he is well attended in the ICU and more closely monitored than before. He doesn't have to be moved for dialysis. But he was obviously frustrated, agitated, and in pain; - so terrible to witness this. The words "Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light" went through my mind.
He was responsive when he sawAbigail and he looked at her as she spoke to him, but he became calm only after some pain meds and Ativan were administered.
My view is that whatever can be done to alleviate his suffering should be done.
Abby and Arlene-
ReplyDeleteSo appreciate your care and kindness with Bill. I can't imagine the pain Bill is experiencing. I do so hope the doc can keep the pain suppressed. Thank you for the updates. Thank you.
Love, Betsy
