Update, September 2nd
Fred and Eric moved dad closer to the front of the home a week ago this past Saturday. This seems to have been a really good move, because he doesn't need to walk very far, and there are more eyes on him. Hospice has been going well, they come in every weekday, and the nurse comes in twice a week. Dad is sleeping more and more, and when he is awake, he is easily agitated. The doc did order a very small dose of haliperadol to be given as needed. This is a drug that helps calm alz patients, and they have had to give it to dad a few times. It doesn't knock them out, just helps the agitation. I will continue to keep things posted, but things are status quo right now.
