My father has been in the hospital since Thursday last week. He went in originally because he was very short of breath and the results of one of his tests that he took earlier that week had come back and the doctor wanted him to go straight to the ER. They got his oxygen levels back up to 95 while he was not wearing an oxygen mask and I finally got the chance to visit today since I am finally feeling better and I didn't have any children with me. The hospital is only allowing people over 18 years old to visit due to the outbreak of Swine flu.
So silly if you ask me. It's just a bad flu. We still treat it the same way so everyone should really stop freaking out. But I digress....
So I stopped by the hospital on my way home from work and visited with mom and dad for about an hour. Dad seemed to be in good spirits but he was a little upset that he is going to have to stay in the hospital for at the very least a few more days.
While I was there, one of the doctors came by and I was able to listen to what he had to say! Dad will be going for an angiogram tomorrow at noon to see if there is some kind of blockage. They may put in a stint depending on what they see and if they are able to get his heart rhythms back to normal that will be great. If not, they may think about putting a defibrilator in.
So that is the news of the day. Keep Gilbert in your prayers.

Thanks for the update. Amanda called me today with the latest. It sounds like Dad is going to need surgery, I'll be thinking about you all. Keep me posted.
