Good morning, dear friends, conservatives, Americans…and you liberals, too.
It never rains, but it pours, as they say – and as if my beloved mother-in-law passing away this past Sunday wasn’t enough, I’ve now also got my father and elder brother both in the hospital (different hospitals, totally unrelated illnesses) – the elder bro’ will probably be ok, but my father is 82 and in poor general health, so we are concerned.
I would appreciate your prayers for my family during this most difficult time, and your patience with the spotty blog updates.
UPDATE: Thanks, everyone, for your words of concern and support. As it turns out, it seems the old man’s kidneys are not “kidneying” properly, and so he was short a significant amount of blood. So, they gave him some blood and he’s at least temporarily back in the pink – tests are being done to determine if its a general problem with the kidneys, or something more treatable. As for the older brother – haven’t got the latest update on him, though I should hear something tomorrow.
