RE: Warren

look , =ou guys have been terriffc . I can't do much except pay for things which i=am happy to do. if we can move him to 24 hrs. hospice ca=e, I will pay.

I just got of= the phone with Linda. I've been talking to her every day. Warren's condit=on is deteriorating rapidly. As of last night he was hallucinating. Earlie= today she found him on the floor and he wasn't able to get up Alone or wi=h her help She waited for the assistant Arnie to arrive. Right now she's w=iting for a wheelchair to be delivered. She's also going to request help f=r the nights as well She just wanted to review this with you She herself i= truly overwhelmed I spoke with him last night and his speech is very garb=ed and his answers are somewhat confused. Just wanted to keep you informed=l know Linda was anticipating that you Terry would be by today . Just thin= she needs reassurance that with it to support her and I have done that My=senses seeing him is going to be very demanding emotionally As I Said spea=ing to them every day inviting her how to utilize and intervene with the h=spice program I'll keep you informed

I agree, lets try to keep him at home. His dignit= is shot and his situation is irrevsersable. Let him stay in his own=bed and pass in peace. This is still so surreal to me.

I =eel bad for you too; its going to be very sad.

Michael,=/o:p>

With your experience how much longer do you =hink he has? Also, as this progresses do you think he will reach a p=int where he is no longer aware of his surroundings? If so, at that =oint it might be best for Linda's sake to move him to a care=facility.

I commented earlier that I believe his condition is very fra=ile and he can die at any point; I would be surprised if he lasts 3 w=eks; (note I have not SEEN him in 10 months). Linda has lost it but since =ARREN requested he die at home I think it would be best if Linda has the p=oper supports and he stays at home. I talk to her daily and I think =he will get by; she will collapse emotionally once he does die irrespectiv= if it it is in his home or at a facility. As long as she knows we are sup=orting her I think it can be done. Years from now there wont be any =uilt she didn't carry out his last wishes. There is no getting around the =rofound sadness of this miserable death.
