Dad Update: Mom called this morning & they are back to square one with Dad. The meds were what was keeping his heart rate down last night. Now she thinks they'll send him home with more meds & another doctor's appointment. She called my just after 8:00 a.m. It's now after 1:30 p.m. & I haven't heard back. She was to call me when they got home & it just takes 30 minutes for them to get home from the hospital. I may have to call her now.
More bad news: DH's aunt found out yesterday that she has cancer & will have a total hysterectomy. She keeps DD after school & helps her with her homework. She was a 1st grade teacher for many years & was in the school system for 31 years total until she retired just this year. She & we are supposed to have our houses full of family next weekend for SIL's wedding. Who knows what's going to happen! She goes to the oncologist this afternoon for the plan of attack. Her doctor said he couldn't tell her whether or not she would need chemo or radiation in addition to surgery. We haven't told DD yet. I just can't deal with an emotional child right now. We'll probably just tell her that aunt will be having surgery, which will be enough truth for DD at this point.
I stayed up until 1:30 a.m. this morning to make our Fast Pass selections for our trip to Disney World in two months & was so excited I couldn't go back to sleep. I probably got about 3 hours sleep after that before I got everyone else out the door. I took a vacation day today to clean house & relax. Now with all this new bad news, I'm just working on the house trying to keep my mind off of everything. I just hope Mom can still go on vacation with us. Dad isn't going but if she can't leave him alone, she can't go either. I'm trying not to think that far ahead, but my mind is a mess right now!
Asking for continued prayers for our entire family. We are going through a valley right now, but we'll come out on a mountain on the other side, someday!
Hope you are having a fabulous day!
