and one more to go....

Mom leaned over to Dad while he waited in the bed to have his procedure done and asked "is your heart racing?"
He replied "no."
Good grief, mine was like a runaway train.
The entire day was filled with waiting, wondering and waiting. It was difficult to watch Dad in some pain but when it finally began to subside and by the end of the evening his color was a little better from the blood transfusion. Mom was good throughout the day, let tears fall a couple of times, became exhausted and needed a change of scenery a couple of times where she would walk to a waiting room...but your in a place where people are talking about their ailments ...you're basically surrounded, conversation is not uplifting and she was beginning to wear down. The nurses were fantastic, when they suggested I take Mom to the waiting room....we would peek around the corner to see Dad and each time we did a nurse was there rubbing his arm and quietly speaking with him....comforting on both sides!
It was a long, long day. The Doctor admitted Dad for overnight due to his being so weak, etc.
Today we are back up at the hospital and Dad will have a CT scan, and another procedure...
then maybe...just maybe we will know why Dad has been 'fading' the way he has......

here we go....round two.
