Loosing ground

Nellie has developed pnumonia. Having trouble breathing. They stopped giving her as much fluids, because of her retaining too much. Nebulizer treatments every four hours, but that doesn't seem to be enough. She is running a slight fever. Xray of chest each day shows no change in the pnumonia. At this time it is considered to be in a small area but persistant. She tells me she feels no pain, excepted when they move her around to change or clean her up. It is becoming more difficult to understand her slurred speech but it seems her mental stated is still good. She still finds things to joke about and make fun of. She asked for a coconut popcycle last night. Fortunately the cafateria was still open and we were able to find one. She chewed and sucked on it like a little baby. Then a little went down the wrong pipe. Looked very uncofortable for a while, but she was able to clear it out. The nurse gave her something for the anzioty, she became sleepy, I left her about 8:30 pm nearly asleep. She said night, I love you. See you tommorow.
