Dad

I had a very exhausting day yesterday. Well, the day wasn't exhausting but I was. I guess the stress caught up with me. Dad slept most of the day and I slept right along with him. He got up and had breakfast, then went back to bed. My brother,Don brought him ham and bean soup for lunch and he got up for that. He was sitting at the table and was trying to ask for something. He kept pointing at the table, the salt shaker, and his plate but he couldn't say what he wanted. Then he started moving his hands like he was milking a cow. He wanted a glass of milk! We laughed about that all day. We watched "The Ultimate Gift" in the afternoon and when Leisa came to spend the night, I went home. I slept good. This morning mom said he was very restless last night even after taking his sleeping pill. In the middle of the night he got out of bed and was fumbling with the blankets on the end of the bed. He kept saying "I can't find it". Mom asked him what he was looking for and he answered "The Holy Grail!" I don't think he found it. She gave him another sleeping pill and he's still asleep. I'm just getting ready to go over and sit with him and be there when he wakes up.
