Thankyou all so much for your support, I really appreciate all the emails and comments. I cant believe it was all a week ago, it’s been a crazy long week driving to and from hospitals, making arrangements and keeping everyone informed. No-one was sleeping very well. The good news is Dad is doing fine, he is out of the hospital and back at home. we don’t know what was wrong and he is still undergoing tests but luckily it doesn’t appear to be critical.

I haven’t had to deal with anything like this before, it was so scary. I had to be strong the whole time, to liaise with doctors and with Dad’s friends and for dad himself who was quite frightened himself. all the time I was being strong and competent but petrified on the inside.

Anyway, I am getting back into it, I needed a bit of time to recover and catch up on sleep.
