Update - Mom + Dad

Another update from my previous post today. Mom is being admitted to Barnes tonight. She will have tests tomorrow and likely the procedure to fix her irregular / fast heart rate on Wednesday. More updates throughout the week, but as of right now it is looking like she will be at Barnes for the next 3-4 days. We will be taking shifts to stay with her.

Re: Dad - due to his low white blood count and issues from this morning, he is unable to come to Barnes. He will still be going back to St. Joe's on Wednesday himself for another set of blood tests to check his white count level. In the meantime he is supposed to take it easy, avoid crowds and use ibuprofen for pain. We're also covering visiting him in the evenings (and staying over night a few of the nights if he will let us). He has been ok at home by himself throughout the day, but if you want to stop by and/or check in for a short amount of time throughout the day, I'm sure he would like a visitor here and there. IF YOU DO - just please CALL before visiting to make sure he is up to it and/or there are not too many people stopping by at one time. Also very VERY very important to make sure you are not sick if you stop by - it's really important he not be around anyone who is sick and not be in any crowds right now while his white blood count is down.

sheesh - what a week, is it seriously only Monday? Taking one day at a time, but please keep the prayers coming - we really need them this week.

I'll update tomorrow after work when I get to Barnes - thanks again for everything
