Hospital Holiday.

My sister took my dad to the ER on Christmas Day, shortly after we arrived here in MN at noon. They released him Thursday evening. He had been having these spells that would last for a bit and were quite scary. They are hard to explain but they include slight chest pain, disorientation, sweating, some dizziness, and who knows what else. He had maybe ten on Christmas Day. So they did loads and loads of tests that night and next day.

Praise God nothing serious came up in all the tests. He has some blockage in an artery to his brain that a neurologist is going to look at this Thursday, but the hospital doctor didn't seem too concerned. And in a week he goes to get his knees checked out and will probably get a new one or two of those this spring. It's not ideal timing as they should be enjoying their house in Arizona right now, but it'll be good for them to get this medical stuff ironed out. And overall we are all just grateful for all positive results (even the doctor was impressed with the condition of his heart)! It was a bit hard to see him all dolled up in hospital gear, but then also nice for me to not be the one in the hospital bed this time!

I love my Dad and want him to be around in good condition for years to come. He's got some cute grandkids to love on...
