I just got a phone call from my sister. My father who is 82 was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Seems he has been having chest pain and arm pain for a few weeks now and didn't tell anyone. He does have HBP which has caused him to be hospitalized before with a cerabal hemmorage. His blood pressure now is 219/150 around that and his sugar is way up. That have him hooked up to machines watching him overnight. He is old and is on tons of pills for HBP and diabetics (sp) but he can't see to well so alot of times he drops them on the floor and doesn't even realize he has not taken them. This could be the cause of this episode. I don't know. Sitting here waiting for a phone call from my sister who is with him right now. Prayers please.... Shantel
Shantell...I'm not very good at prayers but I can send some pretty good strong thoughts your way.
I'm sorry honey. I hope you don't have to wait too long to get news.
Lisa

Lisa, Thank you. My father is my rock. When my husband did an intervention on me because of my addiction almost a year ago my father sat there and cried. He is one of the main reasons I am clean today. Shantel
Awww sweetheart. How far away is he? Can you go to the hospital?
Lisa, The hospital is not far from me. I have 9 brothers and sisters and we are all trying to contact each other now to let them know what is going on. My sister Ruth was with him when this happened and she is keeping us informed. I don't know much right now but being one of the youngest siblings they don't like to tell me. I was just on the phone with one of my sisters who is just as close to my father as I am and we can not deal with this now. To much to handle.
Is someone home with you?
I'm so sorry...I wish I could do more.
This is what works for me when I have a hard time accepting what's happening to me:
God, grant me the serentiy to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference......

Lisa, Seems a few weeks ago when he was on a trip to see my sister in Chicago he wasn't feeling well and confided in one of our missionary friends and told her he was afraid to die. I was kinda shocked to hear that tonight as my father is a godly man and for him to be afraid to die is beyond me.Still waiting to hear what is going on.I will not use tonight because????? Because my father needs me. Shantel
No, you will not use tonight because you need to take care of yourself as well as him. You aren't any good to him or your family if you aren't yourself.
You don't have access to pills do you?
