yeah thats right, im back. three days later than we had planned.
ok heres the story....
my dad had been feeling bad wednesday, thursday, and friday.
he felt weak, he had a fever, and a cough. he refused to go to
the doctor and just took half a bottle of advil in a 30 hour period,
which is alot. he also hadent eaten anything. we left elyria at about
6 am on saturday and by about 8:30 ish we needed gas. so we pulled off
the exit, filled up, got the stare down from a van full of amish people,
and started to pull out. my dad (in the third row of our van) said he need-
ed to throw up. we stopped by some grass at the gas station, and my dad could barely get out of the van. my mom helped him out and he leaned over but couldnt throw up. he then leaned back towards the van and passed out.
it was pretty scarry. his nose was bleeding, his eyes were rolling, and i was holding his head. my mom called 911 but she didnt know what city we were in.
she ran into the gas station and the attendant ran out told us where we were.
the ambulance came and took him to the e.r. skip ahead a few hours. dad is ok, but he cant remember passing out or getting taken to the hospital. it turns out he has pneumonia. we ended up having to stay in some town in ohio for two days while he was in the hospital. he got released on sunday and we set out,
making it to south carolina where we spent the night. we got back at about 4:30 pm today. there are a few more details in between, but i can tell you later. thats all ttyl
