Forgive me for not meeting the stated guidelines for diary creation, to those who feel compelled to be the diary police... but the Kossacks are like family and one needs family in times of need.
I am asking for prayers/well-wishes/positive energy for my father.
My father is recovering from a kidney infection that had been misdiagnosed for 2 weeks. He was in the hospital over the weekend and came home monday. I spoke with him yesterday and he sounded weak but was in good spirits.
However last night he was re-admitted to the hospital for what appears to be a stroke. He's 63 years old and I ask your prayers for him and for my family.
I am headed to Portsmouth, VA where he is in the hospital to see him and to see my mother; they just celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary on May 5th and she was pretty shaken when I spoke to her last night.
Thanks to all.
UPDATE: I went and saw my dad in the hospital; he's in good spirits. His neurologist confirmed that he did have a stroke; they are still trying to determine the extent of the damage. My brother and I had to make my mom go home and get some rest; she'd been at my father's bedside the better part of the last week between his two hospitalizations.
I thank you all for your care and concern... It means a great deal to me.
