Byron had a fairly good night, although he sounded a little congested through the night. He woke up and was eating yogurt when all of a sudden he could not catch his breath and was gasping for air. I quickly called Hospice who directed me on which medicines to administer and how. Lucky for us, our pastor happened to be visiting and was not only able to pray for Byron as he was going through this episode but also was able to offer a calm and reassuring presence. Once the meds kicked in, Byron's breathing seemed to improve and he was able to lie down and sleep peacefully. Shortly after, the hospice nurse arrived to check on Byron. An oxygen tank had been delivered to us a couple days ago in anticipation of such an event but I did not know how to use it so the nurse showed me how to operate the oxygen machine. The rest of the day has so far been uneventful.
Prayer requests: Pray for Byron to be able to breathe normally and not experience shortness of breath. Pray for continued rest and pain control.
