I am writing this posting from the emergency room. My dad has been dealing with diarrhea and vomiting for two days. This morning was a total nightmare, as he went in bed, in the shower and all over himself and the floor. It has been non stop clean up. This afternoon we added confusion to the mix and I whisked him to the ER.
My area is headed for almost two feet of snow on Sunday, and given that my dad is recovering from a brain bleed (December’s admission) and heart disease, I couldn’t take any chances. I am in a total panic about the snow as I manage so much alone, I now have to worry about digging out, my parents’ health, stocking up food and supplies. It is so hard being the only intact adult on duty and of course that makes me sad and mad at the same time.
My dad has had a ct of the head and abdomen, a chest X-ray, blood work and an EKG. Most of his imaging looks fine but I can see they are focused on his heart. So here I wait at 9:30pm waiting for next steps!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
As always Chris thank you for your virtual support and good wishes. It has been a very hard day, and not sure when things will improve as they sent me home with my dad at 1am. Please keep me in your thoughts. Thinking of you, Vicki
