I got up a little late this morning because I hadn't slept all that well. I didn't go out for a walk both because of the late rising and because I wanted to get a fairly early start driving up to Be'er Sheva.
I left Eilat shortly after 8:00 a.m., parked in the hospital parking lot just before 11:00 a.m., and arrived at David's ward פנימית ו׳ (Internal Medicine 6) a little after 11:00.
David's condition seemed similar to what I had seen last Wednesday, when he was admitted, but his general awareness and ability to speak were less today, and he now has a feeding tube running to his stomach through his nose. None of this surprised me too much. I was there when the doctor came on rounds, and, after she had finished rounds, I also went to talk with her in the doctors' room. I asked her about his condition, the prognosis, and any treatment plans they had. She replied that they will continue the current treatment, that his condition is מאוד קשה very serious, and that הוא יכול למות he could die. I replied that that was what I thought. So, that's the situation. Only time will tell what will happen next.
The drive up and back was pleasant as usual, and I had prepared a nice playlist of music to entertain me. The wind today was was not strong but was from the south (rather than strong from the north, as usual), so my mileage was actually better on the way up than on the way back (the opposite of what usually happens).
