He has been up and consumed three meals today. He has had his bath by his faithful hospice aid who did a vitals check and told us that his regular nurse is not so sure that the "short term" status should be applied to him. His blood pressure was back up so much so that we decided to give him his metoprolol tonight.
He did have a coughing spell that seemed pretty horrible to us after his supper....but once he was in bed it stopped.
