Dad's in the hospital
I just got a call from my mom. My dad came home from work today for lunch complaining about an upset stomach. When he went back to work, he was violently ill and started puking up blood. He lost so much blood that he passed out. An ambulance had to come take him to the hospital and he couldn't even sit up without passing out because his blood pressure was so low.
The cardiologist spent many hours testing him and it turns out the ticker is OK, but there is internal bleeding that they haven't been able to narrow down yet. He's on blood transfusion to get the pressure back up, then they're going to test him (tube down the throat, etc) overnight and diagnose what is wrong. I hope he's ok...
I love you, Dad. I wish I wasn't so far away.
