Good morning. My Dad's in the hospital with pneumonia and congestive heart failure. Again. Sigh. But that's the best place for him to be right now. I just spoke with him and he sounds good and said he feels MUCH better today than yesterday, and that they've ordered a battery of tests for today. We're HOPING he comes home today, but it all depends on the outcome of the tests. For now, he's not squawking too much, and I guess that should be my one and only grateful!!! LOL!!!

Today's:

1. My friends who, as always, rallied around to see if there was anything they could do. Mom and I appreciate it more than you know.

2. Hot tea. I'm so spoiled - Dad always brings me a coffee in the morning, but this a.m., tea will have to do! It's somehow soothing to the mind and the body.

3. Time with some friends on Saturday. Thanks, ladies - I surely needed it!!! Had a great time!!

Have a good day! Please keep Dad in your thoughts and prayers.

UPDATE - 12:30 P.M. - DAD'S BEING RELEASED AT 1 P.M., ALL TESTS LOOK GOOD AND HE HAS TO FOLLOW UP WITH HIS CARDIOLOGIST. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! MUAH!

Good Morning Everyone

Tia: You know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Today I am grateful for

1. Highway crew workers who get the roads clear enough for EMT so

people like Mr. Huber get the help they need!.

2. The beautiful sunrise this morning!

3. Friends - had a impromptu lunch Saturday and it was just what the Dr ordered

after the week from hell weather wise.

Take care all!

Hey stranger! Welcome back!!! I feel your pain - but try not to think of it as the "d" word, just think of it as getting back to basics!!

Glad you're happy, though, that's a blessing!!!
