God saw you getting weary,

He did what He thought best;

He put His arms around you

And whispered come and rest;

It broke out hearts to lose you

But you did not go alone

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

**I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND I MISS YOU EVERYDAY**

REST IN PEACE DAD

My dad has only been here (in Louisiana) for 2 weeks and now he's in the hospital. He was having some problems before he left California but the doctors (at KAISER PERMANENTE!!!) said that he was ok and nothing was wrong so he went ahead and flew down here. Well about a week after he arrived, he started having coughing fits which caused him to gasp for air. This lasted a couple of days and eventually he wasn't able to talk, eat, or drink without coughing everything up. My mother flew in on Wednesday night and after staying up with my dad all night (he coughed for 6 hours straight), she took him to the emergency room.

It turns out he has Pneumonia and it was caused by a growth in his throat that allowed food to get into his lungs. Ummmmm, why didn't the Docs at Kaiser see this "growth" when they did 4 endoscopy procedures last month!!!! In the last 24 hours he has gotten better care then in the 2 months he spent going to Kaiser Doctors. WTF!!!! Anyhow, they admitted him last night and he will probably be there for a couple of days. Our main concern right now is the growth in his throat. They did a biopsy and we are waiting to find out if it's cancer or not. I pray it's not. The past couple of days have been so draining. I'm sitting here at work about to fall asleep at my desk. Thank God it's Friday because I don't know if I could make it another day.

I went shopping yesterday to take my mind of things. I ended up at MAC (as always) and I spent some time playing with the new Starflash collection. I bought a couple of things and I will post about it over the weekend.

Prayers are most certainly welcome!
