My sincerest apologies for the lack of posts lately. It has been a tough few weeks around here. On July 4th my Dee Dad was rushed to the ER because he could not move from the waist down. This was caused due to numerous issues including an allergic reaction to medication, a fall in May, and other medication levels a bit wonky. He required 6 pints of blood to raise his iron levels and was in the hospital for 9 days. He is now in a rehabilitation facility regaining his strength and getting the hang of walking again.
To add to the stress of when a loved one is sick and hospitalized, last Friday we received a phone call bright and early. It was my father’s physician stating that he had fallen, cut his head and was being taken to the ER. It turns out he blacked out during a portion of his physical and hit his head on a wall causing a 9 inch gash from his forehead to the crown of his head. My mother lost count on the number of stitches and staples but it is at least 50. He is home from work and the kids are making sure he gets better.
Whew! I hope all the injury/illness/accident wave has ended around here.
