just superman...

sorry if i haven't personally contacted you about this, but here's what's going on...

after dad's chemo yesterday (tuesday) he collapsed in the parking lot of the cancer center... they called 911 and got him to the hospital... while in the er they had to put him on a ventilator... his heart had NOT stopped... he was STILL breathing... but it was to the dangerous point and they did what they had to do... they did an x-ray on his head (because they weren't sure if he had hit his head when he passed out) and found everything was ok... that hard breier head is good for something... they did a cat scan to check his lungs... he has pneumonia... they also checked to be sure that a blood clot hadn't gotten loose and gone to his lungs... there was no clot... he has been icu and on a ventilator since last night... spoke to the drs this morning and he is getting a cardiologist involved... there is some sort of enzyme that is elevated when there is a heart related event that was high this morning... it was ok last night but just a smidge high this morning... once we get all the pieces put together we can get him off this damn ventilator... he wakes up every once in a while (usually when a nurse is poking at him) and he kinda seems to get what is going on... although he's still pretty out of it... so that's what's up... asking for good thoughts, prayers (if ya got em) and hell - i'll take a snake handler with a couple of dead chickens if it'll help... i'll keep ya updated as often as i can...

and please, while sending all this positive energy dad's way, please divert some of that for my friend megan (and the entire ohnheiser) clan who lost her father this past saturday...

much love
