It has been a while since there has been an update on this blog and that is because Dad was mostly maintaining it himself. Dad has been admitted to the hospital this past weekend so the family will update this blog when there is news to share.
On Friday mom recieved a call from the doctor that dad needed to go to emergency at Langley hospital because his calcium levels were to high. During the week mom was noticing more and more that dad seemed to be confused and not understanding what was going on. He was very repetitive and unable to hold a regular conversation. For those who know dad, not being able to have a conversation with him is a difficult reality to deal with. Since he has been in the hospital, the calcium levels seem to fluctuate, but generally are going down slowly. He will remain in the hospital until his calcium levels are back to normal.
While we were visiting him on Sunday, they did a blood-sugar test and his level was higher than normal, so he was to take some insulin. Since dad is type-2 diabetes, this is another factor that we have to contend with.
On Sunday evening when we visited dad, Kent came with his violin and we were able to sing Psalms and Hymns. Praise be to God for giving us His Spirit to strengthen us during this time.
We acknowledge all the followers of this blog, and continue to ask for your prayers for Mom and Dad as we continue to live out God's plan for dad.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow
