Fritz having a lazy snooze with dad this morning and having some cereal.Fritz was sent to hi sown bed last night.Two or three times,he got out of their bed and was barking and Mom woke me up at 25 after 11 to get him and I gave him to her and she put in his cage and he was quiet after that.Then at 10 after 2,dad was getting up to go the washroom,his legs gave out and i had to gert up and help Mom get him up.Got him up,it is a struggle,he can't help much,I had to do the lifting.The reason he is losing weight is the iron pills he is taking,a friend of Mom took the same things and she lost weight,so mom will try to get dad off of them.Last I saw Fritz,he was at the end of the couch,Dad at the other.

You look mahvelous Fritz!! You're such a cute little boy!!

I'm sorry your Dad fell, Barry. How scary. How did you find out that the iron is making your Dad lose weight? I take large doses of iron for anemia and it doesn't affect my weight at all. To be on the safe side, I would check with his doctor before stopping it. He may need it to prevent other problems. Low iron can really zap his energy level. Have you guys tried giving him some of those shakes like Ensure? They supplement lost nutrients. We gave those to my Grandmother and she did great with them. Sorry I don't know the names of the ones that are on the market now. I know that's the one we gave her 15 years ago and I think those are still available. I'm sorry you all are having such a hard time.

Batteries on the camera went, had a pack of four and the camera needs two of them aty a time the two only lasted 2 days each time,so by this afternoon should have batteries.dad had to crawl to the bedroom,I guess the fall hurt him a bit,though we could get him up on his feet during the day,at night he just didn't have any strength.no problems during the night,fritz slept in his own cage.Mom wanted me to pick him up off her so she could get up out of her chair,Fritz growled at me,did the same this morning when dad wanted to be moved over the the recliner where he is now,Fritz I think is in the window.We had some trouble getting dad there,so mom called Larry,but before he come ,we had got him the chair.If it doesn't get better soon,Mom is going to get some help,getting a little too much,dad is a dead weight to lift, when he can't help us.Dad drinks Ensure every day so he is getting what he needs from that.There might be some snow coming ,hard to say,any here from an inch to 4 so who knows,it better hold off i have a game to go to tonight and i haven't missed a game in over 3 years.has the apointment in toronto on tuesday,hope it goes well,it is always a chore getting him ready to go and getting him dressed.

Unfortunately, it may be getting too much for sure, Barry. That lifting will take a toll on all of you. My heart breaks daily for you and the family. I'm glad your Dad is drinking Ensure. It's so good for him. It will give him extra needed nutrients. Give Fritz some kisses from us and take care. We'll look forward to more pictures when you get batteries.
