Thank God for the hospice nurses. I had to call last night because we couldn't get his fever down. We luckily were able to double his dose of the naproxen and we got it down to 101.5.
He's on morphine now about every 4 hours, but he is now not awake. So for the last dose, (we can give it every 4-6 hours) we decided to wait, but after I have him his phenytoin suppository he did wake up for a minute and seemed agitated, so I gave him another dose. He is such a fighter. I am worried about those who haven't seen him from last night to today, though. He was pretty much "asleep" most of the night, and is unresponsive now. His breathing is still very gurgled, and at times it stops for a few seconds.
