I got word this evening that my dad is in the hospital. He's 88 years old, and has been in an assisted living facility for a year and half or so. According to my sister, he's not doing good at all. He'd had a pretty bad cold, that may have turned into pneumonia, his kidneys aren't working, and he has a high level of potassium in his system. They're giving him antibiotics, tryin to lower the potassium level. He's pretty tough, hopefully the meds will pull him through. He's up in Virginia, and I live here in Florida, the distance at a time like this is just awful.
I was still living in Virginia in 1999, when my mom passed away. Yet dad and I didn't get to the hospital in time, moments after she was already gone.
Now I'm even further away, and fearing that I won't be there again, in case he doesn't make it. I pray he will make it, and things will be ok. Just keep my dad Charles in your prayers, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks
