Gary is running another mystery fever today. Still isn't presenting on his forehead and barely on his temple. With his poor circulation and extreme weight loss from his decline, no part of him is the same temperature simultaneously anymore. He's not hungry, though I did get a nutritional drink into him, along with applesauce for his meds, plus his prune juice cocktail and some cranberry water.
He's staring a lot today and having a hard time responding. Picks at his sheets a lot and has repeated this morning, again, that he needs to "get up and get out of here", though he hasn't walked, even with assistance, since mid-November.
Gary continued to be quiet and in a fitful sleep for the rest of the day. It is so frightening to see such a strong man look and behave so weak and be in such a fragile state.
