She basically says I'm doing everything right. She talked to my mom without my being there, but I was in the bathroom during part of it and heard Mom say to the nurse she thought I was doing too much! And I think I'm not doing enough!

The cough Mom has developed since yesterday I've been told is natural as secretions build up. It's not a cold—her lungs are clear—but something the body does when it's beginning to shut down. Her heart rate has also increased, which I've noticed each time I take her pulse.

The nurse said the next time Mom is agitated that half an Atavan will do, which is what I figured. She also says that at this point when the Percoset is finished it's time to start the liquid morphine, but the smallest dose possible.

::sigh::
