I talked to Sonya on Christmas and they were heading out the next day to Dallas. She said there was no change in her dad's condition. I haven't heard from her since, so I hope and pray that all is as well as possible! I'll post if I hear anything else.

Thanks for thinking of us! Unfortunately my dad's situation is a bad one that just keeps repeating itself (he's been pretty sick for several years now). He has these TIA's or mild strokes that set him back (he had a major stroke a few years back). He gets weak and cant transfer himself from bed to wheelchair etc. Then the doc's subscribe these drugs that I sometimes think cause more harm than the $%&! strokes. Without going into too much detail, they really alter his personality and thinking. It's just a tough situation to see a loved one go through. And of course I feel helpless and guilty for being so far away.

I sincerely appreciate everyone's prayers and concern! I'm back home now and enjoying all of these hugs and smiles from my girls!

the drugs he is on can make a big difference. you may want to get a listing and take it to your pharmacy and get their opinion to make sure he isn't on ones that counter act one another. When I got my Mom home from a stay with my sister she came home with a shoebox FULL of meds...I took them all to my pharmacy and discovered there were many that didn't need to be taken at all and some not together with others...also the elderly suffer from chronic dehydration...since their mobility is limited they tend to drink less so they don't have to run to the bathroom so frequently...this results in chronic urinary tract infections, causes increased confusion, lethargy, and a whole lot of other problems!!!

Sonya my prayers are added to the others as well! I see first hand how hard it is! I know your pain during this sad time! Be strong and keep the faith! <>< Janet
