Saturday and dad is unresponsive

 So when I  got up I realized that for the first time since we came home, dad did not get up at all last night.  I tried waking him and he was not waking.  He didn't seem to have moved.  His diaper was dry.  

So the vigil starts.

He is unresponsive all morning and Barbara Winters came to see me about her teeth.  She has worn them down and will need all the upper teeth done at once to open the bite.

Dad moaned and grunted and snorted all morning.  I wonder if he is in pain.  I texted Cesar and he said to give him 15 mg of morphine.  I did and did not see any change.  KR stayed a bit while I went for a short and VERY slow run.   KR went to FM and got mostly zucchini.  

KURT COVID TEST IS STILL POSITIVE

I got dad's body accepted into the UCLA donate body program.  So after he passes they will come and pick him up.  

James said NO AFTER DEATH COMMITTEE  Just do what I think is right. 

I don't have to plan nor pay for cremation, none of that.  

We had reservation at Pacific Prime and Michael Gibbs, my patient, was there to greet us.  What a dinner.  We had oysters and lobster lollipops for starters.  Dinner was Bone In Ribeye steak for KR with wedge salad, New Zealand fish with bok choy for James, plus asparagus and I had tuna tartare.  For dessert we had chocolate ganache cake and apple beignet.  All of the food was amazing.  The only complaint is that we are fast eaters and would like to get out of the restaurants faster.  But the food was great and James was VERY HAPPY

Kurt was watching Yeye and playing computer game.  No change.  Just still continuous moaning when he exhales.  No more loud hard coughing.  No moving at all.  No moving to scratching the bottom of his feet.  

Kurt says the Glasgow coma scale is about a 4

Kurt took Angel home and I puttered around a bit.

But Carole told me he could still be positive but NOT contagious. 

KR says he will not donate to science  CREMATION or just dump into the ocean
