Typing this all out, I fear I'm going to start rambling... In short... tl;drsomething is wrong with my dad tonight. He's at the ER, and we could use your thoughts, prayers, and/or positive vibes

My dad had to go to the ER, again, tonight. I say again because this happens more often than not.

Let me explain. In 2008 he had a major heart attack, then in 2010, after recovering from said heart attack, he had a stroke leaving him half paralyzed.

My mother and I have been acting as his primary care takers, me staying home during the day and looking after him, making sure he's alright, then both of us looking after him at night. Doing this for the past few years has gotten me in the habit of bracing myself for the worst every time I come home or go to check on him.

It's starting to take a toll.

So tonight as I was getting ready to get some sleep, which I've been having trouble doing, something is going wrong with my dad, called an ambulance, and he's now in ER at the hospital. Like I said, we've done this a few times already, but I guess my defenses have been worn down and I'm scared and nervous.

I, and most importantly my dad and mom, could really use your thoughts and prayers tonight. Chances are he is fine and everything will be right as rain in the morning. Just nervous.

Please, God, stay with my dad tonight. Whatever your plan is, let everything be alright...
