Marty Update 8/2/2010

Marty became very restless, uncomfortable and unable to swallow at times. He began to get choked when he would swallow so we couldn't give him pills. I had to crush his meds and add a small amount of water then use a syringe to put the meds under his tongue and let it trickle down his throat but that still wasn't able to keep him comfortable. Now Marty is in Kobacker House, which is a very nice Hospice House. He recieves shots instead of pills in order to keep him comfy and the Nurse said today that the chance of him coming home are slim. Marty hasn't eaten in close to 2 weeks and hasn't had any fluids since friday. Cancer is such a wicked and cruel disease to both the person who has it and the family caring for them.
