Saturday, I had tried to call my mom and dad several times but their cell phones were off and I couldn't reach them on the home phone. I finally got a call from my mom around 4 and she told me the reason I couldn't reach them was that they had been in the Emergency Room. WHAT?!?!? She took my dad to the ER as he was having problems breathing and didn't have much strength. They did tests on his hearts and lungs and they both looked fine. His hemoglobin level was at 7(it should be at 14). They are going to do some more tests tomorrow to find out exactly what is going on and we are hoping it's something minor that will be easily treated.
These are the times that I hate living so far away from home. All I wanted to do was jump on a plane and rush to the hospital to see my dad. I can't even imagine how I would ever deal with not being there if something happened to him or my mom. I hate thinking about my parents not being invinsible. They're my parents..they're strong and they take care of me and my sister. Even though we're adults, we both still NEED our parents. My mom helps me with recipes, listens to me when I'm struggling with us not having a child. My dad gives us advice on fixing things and is there to listen to my endless ramblings about our new house. They're both there to tell me and my sister when times are rough that it will be ok. I can't wait to see my parents with their grandkids and see my kids learn from my parents like I did. Anywho.....as you can tell my heart is just a little shaken up right now.
So any prayers or good thoughts that you can spare right now for my dad would be greatly appreciated.
