Thank-you all, once again, for the good advice. For some reason, I have not been able to access ISpine since yesterday afternoon. Just now trying, it popped up no problem, so I apologize for my delay in responding. So, after all my panic, it turns out he actually had a pretty good day yesterday. Ate more than he had over the weekend, has been hydrating voraciously. (he wasn't taking in any water over the weekend) Both my husband and I received a couple of emails around dinner time from Libby, and we are going over tonight at 6:30 pm to visit him, and Sue of course. They were all actually out of the house yesterday running some normal errands, accompanying Sue to her audiology appt., etc., leaving Terry in the good hands of the hospice nurse. (only silly me was sitting by the phone all day, afraid to run even one errand) Then another good friend who supplied dinner for them last night called me when she and her husband got home, and gave me a wonderful update. So............... I'm breathing again.
Thank-you all for the words of wisdom. Most appreciated. Cindylou

Just got home from getting to visit our good friends tonight. My husband was really wanting some alone time with Terry, before my turn, but as it turned out, his energy level being so low, he wanted to see both of us at the same time. He was so coherent, it was amazing. He sat up on the side of the bed. Asked Rick to get his glasses so he could see while we talked. Terry and my husband worked together for close to 20 years before Terry took disability a year ago, so he really wanted to "talk business" which was way cool. I even snuck out so they could have some guy time together. I am now guessing he might have a couple of weeks left, seeing him tonight. I could be way off, but since I lost both my brother and my Dad to lung cancer, that is my best guess. Thank-you you all for the prayers and wisdom.
