Update: 3/29/13:

Well the stay at the "half way apartment" was short lived. Dad's back in the hospital today (well, last night). We noticed he wasn't acting normal. Almost as if he was hallucinating or seeing things. Carrying on a conversation was OK, but making decisions were a difficult task.

Mom took him to the ER last night, where they ran CT Scans, XRays, EKG's and then today an EEG as well. Still awaiting some of the results. Some of they Psychiatric team came in to evaluate him as well. He had a real tough time doing minimal tasks (drawing simple things).

They are leaning towards some sort of side effect, or withdrawal or something relating to the meds he is on. But its not for sure yet, and their still running tests to make sure its not actually brain related (boy we sure hope not!!!).

We were planning on taking the kids up to see them tomorrow at the apartment, but unfortunately that wont happen this week.

Albert

Big news just now.. Dads officially on the heart transplant list. Level 1A (most critical). The next heart and kidney fitting his match will be his. While this is a blessing, that they feel he is strong enough to endure such a drastic surgery, it's very scary as well. They feel it will be 'very soon' that this will all happen. The LVAD device is causing him to bleed internally through the walls of his stomach & intestines. So they want to move forward as quick as possible with the LVAD removal and new heart. (12+ Pints of blood the past week). We thought the LVAD was a difficult road, this one is much longer and tougher. Please keep dad and mom in your thoughts and prayers. It's been a very rough emotional and physical road they've been on, and now a whole new one starts.

Here is a link to his page, with updates and if you could spare, a donation to help cover some of the costs/living expenses they're having to cover that insurance doesn't. https://www.helphopelive.org/find-a-...96041624D64869

Greg,

Every little bit helps! Many thanks friend. I owe you for this, and for all the knowledge in the investing thread you've taught me. One day I'll pay it back. And if not, pay it forward for sure.

My pleasure buddy.... Just sorry for the reason, but glad I can help a little. I know you'll pay it forward when it's your turn.
