This mortal coil

[plonq]

I briefly chatted with Mom this afternoon, and it sounds like Dad's condition has deteriorated a fair bit since we saw him last month. They have moved him into palliative care, where he spends most of his time sleeping now. At least with all the morphine pumping through him he's not in any pain. When we were out there, Mom confided in me that she did not think that he would last much past the end of summer. Now she does not think that he will make it to the end of the month.
