it's been a while

i like to post at least once a week because my memory is just horrible, but life has been chaotic the past couple of weeks. my dad went to the hospital on 8/31 for a subdural hematoma, which is bleeding in the brain area. he was in the ICU, but thank God it wasn't as serious as it could have been. he went home after 3 days and no surgery was needed. he will just be monitored. he just has a headache that won't go away because of the pressure in his head. hopefully it will resolve on its own. he does plan to go back to work and resume his normal activities as tolerated. we will just continue to pray for him and help him out in any way we can.
