With the doctor’s strong recommendation, we’re headed to the emergency room tomorrow where all the results for his tests to this point will be waiting. He agreed and we’re going finally. I hope they admit him and observe him for a few days or at least until they figure out why the liver enzymes are so out of whack.

My daughter gave me some hard truths and I needed to hear them. I do need to realize how precarious his health is. I’d always planned on caring for him after mom passes. That may not be the case. I do need a plan to handle the grief and worry before it makes me sick and I’m no use to anyone. I do need to see my therapist once a week through this nightmare. I do need to take breaks. I do need to get adequate sleep.

I’m so relieved we have a plan.

Warm regards to all and hugs to those that are struggling.
