Last night was a good night. Kent slept for 7 hours. Thank heavens for sleep. Karma (the nurse) said this morning that it is probably because we are getting his meds all straitened around. She still thinks that he will leave us in the same time frame. But her hope is that he is more comfortable right now. She says that is our goal, to make him as comfortable as possible. He has really struggled with not wearing his garments. With all of the problems, having him in them has been difficult. Karma had me take them off. (at least the bottoms) But early this morning I put them back on. He seemed so much happier with him on. (there is a testimony of the wearing of the garment for ya) We are hoping that a new devise that Carma has will solve this problem. 
Carma explains things like a freeway. She says that Kent is in the slow lane, not getting off of the exit yet. Although his body seems to be quietly going to sleep. After all of the battles that he has been through, he is obviously tired. He has been talking a little bit, but the words are small. He is still mostly sleeping, but like I said he seems more rested. Less frustrated.
Over the last week and into the next weeks, we are trying to love Kent and show our love to him and each other. This is a very emotional and difficult time. Each day when we wake up the nightmare is still with us. Seems like we should wake up sometime and find that the whole thing really isn't happening. After we have our emotional break- downs we all reflect on memories and blessings. We all have such a wonderful support system through family and friends. We know that we will be together again. This sure is a hard trial for here on this earth.
