Please pray for Jim to be peaceful and relax.

Very unsettled this morning. He can't seem to relax. Gave him small dose of Ativan. Afraid to give him more because the last time I gave him full dose he went in opposite direction and was very agitated. Please pray for his peace and that he can relax.

    Don't know if this will help

    Sometimes soft music (harp, guitar, etc) may help him relax.  If you have not tried this it is worth a try.  A gentle foot or hand massage may also help.  Does your hospice have any music therapists or massage therapists?  Essential lavendar oil may also be soothing.  You both are in my thoughts today,

    Jim got more restless and

    Jim got more restless and jittery this afternoon. I called hospice. Nurse came and they put him on Haldron. That is making the jerking worse and he still is seeing people. I laid down next to him which helped a little but the twitching is bad. Guess I will call nurse again.

    Ask the Hospice nurse

    about a little Phenobarbitol.
