Peter is now receiving inpatient hospice care.

He perked up quite a bit yesterday evening once it was clear he was leaving the hospital for what has turned out to be a quieter, more homey hospice environment.

This morning the doctor, together with six other members of on-site staff reviewed his situation with those of us present. Based on what is known, the doctor thinks that it is possible that damage to Peter’s health could be reversible in time if Peter were to be able to eat and drink well again. I am pleased with their disposition to give care consistent with a recovery trajectory within the parameters of hospice care.

However, he has had very little appetite today. Peter communicates mostly in brief phrases. He is resting most of the time. He feels significant pain and is receiving medication for it.

Updates are likely to be further between as there is no Wi-Fi at this hospice care center.
