Dad

Wanted to share that Dad has been in the hospital since early Sunday morning.  He went in with a stomach blockage.  This is a somewhat common occurrence so it was not too alarming. Although that issue has not been totally resolved, it is better.  However meanwhile, respiratory issues developed this morning.  The most distressing part is his confusion and crazy talk.  It has been humorous in some regards.  In truth there are times we haven't been sure that he was really not aware or just being funny.  The nurses have told mom that it is certainly not uncommon for people in the hospital to show such confusion.  We have also wondered what is connected to medicine that he is on.  We have tried not to be alarmed but some interactions with him today have been somewhat disturbing.  Mom is staying with him the majority of the time.  She is an experienced hospital companion from many stays with both my dad and brother.  None the less, it has to be wearing.  Appreciate your prayers for clarity for the doctors, Dad's healing, and mom's stamina and strength. Thank you.
