The stress experienced by my family has just GOT to ease!!!! My brother is in the ER right now diagnosed preliminarily with a-fib. My sister is with him. I just got back from Target and other stores buying stuff for my dad for the assisted living.

Update: My sister said that my brother has congestive heart failure. They will be doing a special echocardiogram tomorrow. He'll need to be under general anesthsia for it since they are sending some kind of thing down his throat. They are apparently going to give his heart some kind of shock to get his heart beating properly again. This is just terrible!
