Holidays were great, but life has still been crazy -- got a call yesterday that the paramedics were at my dad's condo (which is very close to my house) so I hurried over. His home health nurse had called 911 when he told him of the symptoms he was having. He got transferred via ambulance back to the hospital where my wife joined him and ended up spending the day in the emergency department with him until the physicians finally decided it was safe to send him home. So, hopefully, he will stabilize again.
