They took a vacation in their RV to (Downsville) New York (from Kentucky) to visit some friends and then were going to spend time driving up the coast and stopping at some towns that our ancestors lived in (Milford, Stonington, Barnstable, Scituate, Hingham...).

Just a couple of hours after leaving their friends, someone stopped quickly in front of them and my dad swerved to the side to avoid hitting him, only to hit a sign (the idiot guy jumped out of his car - which was not hit - and started screaming at my mom. Someone called the police because they thought there was a fight in progress and the guy was arrested for driving on a suspended license.) They had to leave their RV in that town for repairs and took their van and decided to finish the trip.

They were in Concord, NH last night when my dad got a headache and started feeling funny (numb arm, and numb-or something- ear). They went to the ER and my dad was admitted because they think he might have had a mild stroke. :guilty:

They're keeping him until at least Monday so they can do tests (apparently the tech or doctor or someone was not there on the weekends).

I wish I could fly up there to be with them, but it's impossible and wouldn't really solve anything.

It's especially sad because they've been wanting to do this trip for so long. They had plans to visit a house built in 1740 by one of our ancestors and visit cemeteries, etc. We were all excited about it.

If you pray, could you say a prayer for my dad? I'm worried about him.
 
Gosh that is so terrible for them. I hope your Dad is OK and they can resume their trip.
 
Oh goodness :hug: for you all.
I work about 500 yards from the Concord Hospital. If it's any consolation, it's a very good facility. Does your mom need anything while she's stuck in Concord?
Hopefully it's nothing too serious and they'll be on their way soon.
 

Stephanie, that makes me feel better. I do feel he's in good hands. My mom was very happy with the doctor they talked to.

I answered your pm. Thank you again. :)
 
Prayers said here!!

The best to you and your parents. Believe me, all of these prayers will help in may ways...I've been there.
 
Prayers said from a fellow Kentuckian. :grouphug:

I hope they're able to salvage some of their vacation plans.
 
Here's some :wizard: and prayers for your dad and mom! Hope your dad gets better soon. :hug:
 
Thank you all. I just talked to my mom. My dad's head started hurting really badly again and his blood pressure spiked. They gave him morphine and bp meds and he's now getting an MRI. :guilty: I'm so worried.
 
I live in Concord. Didi the accident happen around 3 on friday? If so that's must be the one my son was talking about that happened next to his school bus.

Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do to help you out. Like Boo said its a great hospital. I've spent some time there myself and they were great when they thought I had a stroke.

Best wishes and please let me know what I can do!

Boo-where do you work? I didn't know you lived in/near Concord.
 
I am so sorry. I have parents with a motorhome traveling here and there so I can relate. I will keep your father in my prayers. (((hugs))) to you.
 
All of your thoughts and prayers are making me weepy. Thank you so much.

Phorsenuf, the accident happened somewhere in New York, I believe.
 
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. :grouphug:
 
Oh, it's so hard to be far away, when you just want to be there for them! But he's in the hospital - so he's in the right place.

Prayers said.
