Re: Sorry I haven't been here

[Guest guest]

Dear Angie,

How very sorry I am to hear about your father. It is so difficult to

have an ill parent, and I know you must feel exhausted and mentally

worn out due to your worry for him. It's a blessing that he came out

of his heart attack, and back like he did. You must be so grateful

for this reprieve.

He will be in my prayers, and that includes prayers for the health of

his brain, as well. Just so you know, my father had two heart

attacks, one when he was 64 and one when he was 74. They installed a

pacemaker after his second heart attack, and this month he'll be 83!

Your dad may have a lot of time ahead of him, too.

Try not to worry, look after yourself, and hopefully your doctor will

find something else for you to use that won't give you those horrible

headaches. Please let us know how things are going with everything,

when you have the time.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi

Thanks guys so much! I am on my way in just a few minutes to go to the

hospital. We get to see him from 9:00 - 9:30. I do believe in the power of

prayer so

please those of you who do pray, please pray for him. My daughter broke down

and cried this morning on her way to school. I may have to go get her and just

let her sit with me and my mom in the hospital today. I don't want her to

miss school too much but I don't want her to sit and worry all day either. My

children know my dad is really sick but I haven't told them that he is very near

death's door. I don't want them to carry that pain with them. I have tried to

keep their lives as normal as possible. I have great friends who have helped

out with my kids etc. Thanks again and I will let you guys know what is going

on! I had a horrible panc attack last night and only slept about 2 hours. I

know the stress is aggravating it. But that is the least of my worries right

now.

Love ya'll!
