I got up at seven this morning and went to the kitchen to get the coffee pot going. The phone rang and my sister said my dad's neighbor called and Fire fighters broke down my dad's door after he called them because he could not come and open the door. Apparently Dad was too weak to get out of bed. The phone by his bed is not programmable and he has a laminated piece of paper with all of our phone numbers on it by the phone. He was trying to read that paper with a flashlight. All he could manage to do was call 911. My youngest sister Karla works at Bethesda North and was working this morning when the ambulance arrived with Dad. I arrived and and shortly after that sister Paula and brother Ben arrived with their spouses.
Dad has been sick for 2 weeks, difficulty breathing, on antibiotics and steroids. Any way we are going thru the battery of tests and nothing has been decided and more tests tomorrow.
I have to tell you that my friend Glo showed up at the hospital, brought Starbucks, and kept us all in stitches and was a huge support to me. She is the BEST!
My son in law headed to Las Vegas today for a week long conference. I am staying at their house with Ally and Niko on Sunday, Wednesday,Thursday and then on Friday Ally is off to Vegas to spend the weekend with Michael. I will stay with Niko for the weekend.
In between my dear husband is having a colonoscopy and endoscopy.
Please continue to pray for Grace and her family, my Dad, my husband, Mel, Ally and Michael(safe trips), and that I have the energy to get thru this week.
Thanks for reading.

Hey Girl,
We are praying for good results on all fronts! Let us know about dad and hubby...and know we are praying for an extra dose of "zip" for you during this busy, stressful time! We love you and Mr. and pray God's richest blessings to touch you this week. May God's hand be with each doctor, nurse, technician, who work with your dad and Mel...for He is the great physician!
