Ack!!!!

I called home to see if my mom got released from the hospital. She went home this morning and my dad went in to the hospital this afternoon! Seems he didn't eat right while he was alone, and went into a diabetic coma or something. My sister was there with my mom and when they couldn't wake him up, they called 911.

He seems to be snapping out of it, and will likely be home tomorrow, but it certainly gave my poor mom a turn! She sounded as weak as a kitten on the phone. However, I am encouraged to learn that my sister has cancelled everything she has on and is staying with them for a day or two -- as is my aunt -- so they will be well cared for until they get their strength back. My brother will also look in on them.

All other news seems tame compared to that, but in my own mundane world, I did not quite finish my project due today, so I am putting the rest off until tomorrow. I just got to that point where I had to quit -- so I did. ;-) I shall finish it in the morning.

Fold your hands with me

"In the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Heavenly Abba Father, please let us draw from your triune being the powers of heaven and hear us for our Sister, your servant and daughters, sake. You know what we all need before we ask, but you taught us that in asking comes the blessing, so Father in thy Son Jesus' name we ask you to intercede for Margie's dad and mom, and the whole family and friends that love them both. I ask you as your servant, and please accept our offerings for this, this evening at your altar.
Thank you Father for hearing us and we bow to your will, not our own.
Please remember also our friends and families and those in the eternal realms that await the coming of your Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.
Amen"

Thanks, Ada. It is comforting to know there healing to be had for the asking.

Sounds like your folks are on the hospital 'frequent visitor' plan like we are - I swear, we have our own set of seats in the ER and all the triage nurses know us by name! I hope everyone is ok, Lin. I wish you could be closer and not have to hear everything long distance, giving you only the chance to worry... but your folks seem pretty tough! My thoughts are with you and with them. (((Lin)))

Thanks, my love! My dad is on a first name basis with everyone at the hospital, he's been there so often. Frequent visitor is right! I'm not too worried, they are pretty tough, actually. It was just unexpected. :-D

oh no!! Oh hon, I'm so sorry. I am glad to hear that he's (and she) are getting better though.

I know how it feels to be so far away and feel so helpless to help.

(((((lin's parents)))))

late as usual to the news of the day, so i am hoping that the news is better than when you first wrote this? Thinking of you and praying for your mom and dad.

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Yes, the news is better, I think. They didn't keep my dad in the hospital, just got him back on his feet and sent him home. Hopefully it won't be too much for my mom to handle, having him under the weather as well -- she's worn out still. But my family is pitching in to help.

Hi
