Today

I wish I had more news. Things continue as they have been. Richard's breathing and heartbeat are more rapid. He rarely responds to us, although I believe he hears us on some level. For the most part, he is comfortable. The staff is caring and kind.

He has had no food for over a week and very little water. His heart keeps beating, maybe because as my son-in-law says, Richard always did have a big heart.

We're all ready to move on.
