Just spoke to Mom; she was just on her way in so she hasn't seen him yet this morning. They think he at some point had a minor heart attack, but it may not have even been recent -- hard to tell. She said something about the top and bottom part of the heart muscle are not quite working together, so they will be doing lots and lots of tests today to try to figure out what is going on. They did scans last night of liver, pancreas, gall bladder, etc. just trying to figure out what is going on. Dad's had spells like this before and they've never found anything to explain -- everything always comes back normal. But this time the EKG and bloodwork showed something is going on; they just don't know what it is at this point. Liver tests are off, but they don't know why. He's not a heavy drinker, so something else is apparently going on.

Mom sounds good and said she would let me know if they need me to go down there, but at this point it is just a lot of sitting around waiting for tests, etc. Dad is 85 and has always been in excellent health, but old age is settling in. It's a blow to his ego I think. Both Mom and Dad are sharp as tacks still, but they have realized in the last few years that physically they have to respect their age at this point and take these things seriously.
