The last two days have been quite bad for John. The meds just never quite work and so he is having a hard time. I have given him extra meds but they have not made any real difference. Mornings and evenings are the worse but all day has been a challenge.
The congestion does not seem to be quite as bad so I don't think we are having to worry about pneumonia. Just the congestion that comes from the meds not working properly.
He felt so badly that he went to bed early tonight in hopes he would feel better after he had some sleep. But so far he has not gone to sleep.
He has been trying to tell me something but cannot get the words out which is very frustrating for both of us. He shakes his head no when I ask if he needs something, so it is just a thought he wants to convey but cannot. Sometimes it is as simple as a thank you or I love you, but he will struggle for a long time to get it out. Tonight I told him to wait until tomorrow to tell me when I hope he will be able to talk - or at least whisper.

Two thumbs down for the last two days;
