I'm fine as far as my health goes.

But I'm gonna have not so good of a Christmas this year. Back in November. a week before Thanksgiving, my father was rushed into the ER with breathing difficulties.

The hospital kept him a few days and did some tests on him.

The day before Thanksgiving Day, my mom and my sister brought him back home, but mom had to turn right around and call 911 to send him back to the hospital because as she was feeding him dinner, he collapsed.

he stayed in the hospital a week. his doctor sent him to rehab in a nursing home and placed him on phase one hospice.

for a while it looked like he was getting well enough to go home with mom. but yesterday he started vomiting and complaining of stomach discomfort.

the doctors say all we can do for him right now is to make him as comfortable as possible.

It doen't look good for him at all.

The hospital tried to do an MRI to see if he had a stroke, but with him shaking so badly, they couldn't keep him still enough to get a good image.

I ask for a lot of prayers for my dad that he does not suffer or be in discomfort.

also pray for strenght for my mother.
