Thanks for the calls and emails about Don's dad.
I am putting a little update here, as one friend was quite concerned when I did not post an update on his status.
He is still in hospital, but doing better. As I said in my earlier post, he does have a multitude of problems ... Parkinson's (on two separate medications), prostate problems (on another medication) and now the heart problem.
His neurologist thinks that the medication he was on for his prostate may have caused the heart problem as a side effect, so now the three specialists on his case are looking for a solution.
You know the old saying, "sometimes the cure is worse than the illness" certainly applies here.
We have all had a scare and our poor patient has been put through through the proverbial medical system ringer, both physically and emotionally. This gentlemen is a very stiff upper man and on Sunday we sat with him while he cried like a baby. This was very hard on Don and his younger brother who was there that day with us.
However we are hopeful that just maybe he might be discharged today or tomorrow.
Thanks for the kind emails and phone calls. Please keep Don and his family in your thoughts as they continue through this difficult time in their dad's health.

OMG Barb I feel so bad. I had not noticed you had posted a new Grateful Friday post and of course it was about Don's dad. Please accept my apologies for not commenting that day and I will keep Don and his dad in my thoughts.
Thanks Vickie for your kind words, I'll pass them along to Don.
