Dad going into Hospital

[ereider]

Okay,  Where do I start.  My father gets really bad migraine's.  He also has light shows with them.  It looks like fireworks inside your head.  He has to lay down incomplete darkness and no noise.  He also goes to the family doctor for shots.  He has been dealing with this for years.  They don't know what causes it.  When I was pregnant with Hannah they had blood drawn and mom wanted them to test me to see if I had it too.  Well low and behold I tested possitive.  The disease is called Antiphospholipid Anti Body Syndrome.  My father goes to Philadelphia to see a specialist.  They have decided to admit him to a hospital in Philadelphia.  Jefferson Hospital.  I don't know how long he will be there.  But I decided to work 2nd shift on Sat.and 1st shift on Sunday.  Philadelphia is like 4 hours away from house.  Over Christmas last year he was in the hospital for a week and Hannah was in the hospital for 4 days prior to that with pneumonia.  I haven't had the best of luck my way.  I get migraine's but they aren't as bad as dad's.  I have had only 1 light show.  Knock on wood.  Well thanks for listening.  I love you all. I don't know what I would do without you guys.  Love ya Bunches.  Thanks for listening.

You and your family are in my prayers.  I have had migraines so with the diagnosis that you and your father have, I can't even imagine the pain that you both experience.  I know with a migraine, I am out for the rest of the day.  I am praying for your Dad.  We are all very lucky to have you as a friend too.  Hang in there!  Keep us posted!
