We stopped for a motel tonight...prayed for a reasonable price in this tourist season. We were favored by God with a Days Inn Suite for the same price as a regular room! Erica is quite delighted to have her own room and her own TV.
For dinner we brought in our suitcase of food, an electric pan and we had a delicious meal of Bacon Bean Soup with crackers, fruit, popcorn. Mmmm....we have it made tonight!
On a sadder note.....my dad is in the hospital tonight.
Mom and my brothers took him to the hospital in Grayling Mi. to see what was going on with his heart.
He wasn't getting worse but neither was he getting better so they took him in. They admitted him right away and soon diagnosed atrial fibrillation (sp?).
Saturday they said only 27% of his heart was pumping correctly so they would need to transfer him to a larger heart center in Traverse City to see if he has a blockage or if something else is wrong. He doesn't feel real bad but can't breathe as good when he lays down so has had some problems sleeping. He was taken to Traverse City this afternoon and they have scheduled a heart cath for tomorrow. Mom is staying at a hospitality house there. If all goes well they are hoping he will be home in a few days.
My four awesome brothers are taking good care of them but I wish I could also be there during this time. If all goes well, we plan to be there by next Monday.
Your prayers for my dad and our family would be appreciated very much.
Just talked to Joyce and got an update:
Dad and Mom are settled in their rooms in Traverse City.
The doctor met with them and would like to do some more tests
before ordering a heart cath. He wants to check for blood clots (prob. in the lungs)
tomorrow and do some more tests. He thinks it may not be as bad
as they thought in Grayling Hospital.
Thank you, Jesus! Our Creator, Designer, and Healer!
