Will try to keep this brief..mostly because I'm super tired. Glen has taken a definite turn for the worse. He was hiccuping every time he ate on Wednesday, leading to a serious vomiting episode after he went to bed Wednesday night. When I checked in on him before going to bed he was shaking violently, so I contacted hospice, who sent a nurse. He had a fever and was complaining of chest pains. Started morphine, which he is now getting every 2 hours.

Spoke at length with Dr North last night. He said the next few days would tell, but he believes Glen's got pneumonia (or some other infection obviously) and that Glen not being able to lie down without great distress is most likely a sign that he is beginning to build up CO2.

That's about it for now. Will update when I can.
