It's been a week since Thanksgiving. Burt had two great days of energy, Friday and Saturday. He did a lot of talking with all of us and rearranged things (like the top shelf in the pantry, the silverware drawer....LOL). It seemed like he was getting better! On Sunday we could not wake him up for any long period of time. People were coming to the house all day and he slept through it all. He got up around 4 p.m. when Linda and Terry came over and sat on the couch with them and went right back to sleep. We let him sleep because we thought he must have over-done it the last two days. He finally woke up around 8 p.m. and asked where everyone was. He could hear them talking while he was sleeping and thought he was awake. He did call everyone and apologized for not staying awake. What a day!
Since Sunday he's been sleeping most of the time, only waking up to go to the bathroom or to eat a little bit. He's lost interest in watching TV and hasn't watched a hockey game since Saturday. He's having trouble going up and down the stairs and getting up from the bed. Sometimes he talks to us and sometimes he's confused. It takes him longer and longer to answer a question. Yet we are grateful, for every moment.

I'm thinking of you and Burt every day, Sherrie. I see you pop on from time to time but I know you are busy and don't have time to chat. Know that I'm here for you - whatever you need, whenever you need it. Love the pic of Anna and Burt. And congrats on grandma status. Love ya girlfriend.

Aww Sherrie, my heart is breaking for you and your family, my prayers will continue. I know how hard it is to have someone you love suffering like this, just take in all the good moments and you'll treasure them forever.
