Another Day

Keith had another go round with nauseous last night, but thankful it passed. He was some what awake for most of the day. Even teasing me some. He had a good night and slept. He slept later today than he has been sleeping. He did get up and took a shower and even let me shave him and this time I did a pretty good job. He is quiet today and withdrawing. He did eat some breakfast and I have started using baby cups for him to drank from. They are easier to hold and it still gives him some independence with out having to hold the cup for him. For right now, he is not in any pain he says so hopefully that is in check for the present. Kevin had to go out of town yesterday for a important meeting but got back home last night. He is coming over later today. When everything happened the other night I had called him to let him know what was going on and he came back a day earlier.

Judi and I went to Costco earlier today for her to get gas. She is leaving in the morning. I hate to see her go, but life continues on for all of us, though I feel in a state of suspended animation. This all doesn't seems real. It's like I am looking though a cloud at the moment. I want to wake up and be normal again. I got some Clam chowder for Keith for lunch and he seemed to enjoy it. We went to Bruster's for Ice Cream for dessert. He really liked that.

The break though pain has not been that bad today. He has only had to have one dose of the morphine sulfate. I hope it will stay that way today. He is visiting with Kevin at the moment. I have noticed that the smallest thing makes him so tired. I guess that is to be expected.

Suzan,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Keith, Christopher and the entire Hallam family. I worked with Keith for several years at both Thrall and Cobb Tool. Keith is a great guy and I count myself lucky to have known and worked with him.
