It is getting hard for Amy to stand at all, even for just a few seconds at a time, which is complicating taking care of her. You can imagine the difficulties that causes. She's not eating much and her lucid moments are pretty uncommon. Sarah came to the conclusion that she doesn't want to be a hospice nurse and announced it publicly. On the positive side of things, I had the best night's sleep in a week, on a mattress on the floor next to our bed. I realized that I need to put an extra blanket or at least socks on her at night as her feet were pretty cool by morning without her warm husband next to her.
