Hospice Nurse Called From Dad's Bedside

I was really worried tonight when the hospice nurse called me. She said Dad has excruciating abdominal pain. She wants to send him to their hospital facility but he refuses to go. She brought morphine (liquid form) for him. She will instruct Vivian on how to administer the pain meds.

We agreed Dad is stubborn.

I called Vivian later. She will monitor him closely and call me if there are changes.

We agreed Dad will likely sleep through the night.
