Well it's raining

Literally it has been raining for several days here, also it seems that the expression "when it rains it pours" fits what has been happening lately. My brother came in town thursday night, friday night he and my parents were over for dinner. My dad was feeling a little puny so I called Sandi (sil) who is a cardiac nurse to come see him on her way home from work that night. To make a long story short he is in the hospital for heart trouble. We won't know more till monday after they do a stress test. The good news is that once they gave him blood thinner his blood pressure went back up (it had been 79/40) and he is feeling fine. There is a possibility that he could come home for Christmas on some medication and then follow up with a cardiologist to see why he went into A fib (sp?) and see if there is a blockage. This is serious but thank God they can nip it in the bud, he could have had a heart attack or stroke if he had walked around like he was for to long. I was planning on Christmas shopping this weekend because we hadn't done that yet since we have been so busy, but that is not going to happen now so it will be a different kind of christmas at our house this year. The kids will still have theirs because we were able to get them everything they would need from Walmart. I will get stuff for the stockings today or tomorrow but that is it. The boys and I did make a gingerbread train, christmas cookies and handed out christmas cards to our neighbors, so there was some holiday cheer.
