07:42 – Too much going on yesterday. Around 3:00 yesterday afternoon, we walked over to a neighbor’s 40th birthday party, and then headed over to pick up Mary and Paul and head for Costco and then dinner. When we arrived home at around 7:15, there was a message waiting on the answering machine to call her parents. As it turned out, Barbara’s dad had collapsed and they’d called 911. I stayed home to take care of Colin, and Barbara headed for the hospital.
As usual, nothing much happened for several hours, while Barbara and her family sat around waiting to find out if they’d treat and release her dad or admit him. Late in the evening, they finally told Barbara and her mom and sister that they were going to admit him, at least overnight. She finally got home just after midnight, and said her dad had pneumonia. At this point, Barbara doesn’t know if they’ll send her dad home today or keep him in another day. She also doesn’t know if they’ll be able to make the trip up to Pennsylvania later this week for the reunion.
