I've been missing since Friday when DH accidentally dropped my ipad and the screen shattered. That's what I usually bump from, so I've been on an involuntary hiatus. I haven't gotten around to sending the ipad in for repairs yet, though, because DH is in the hospital. On Saturday he was talking to his brother and for 5 minutes what he wanted to say wasn't what was coming out of his mouth. So he's had tons of tests run for a stroke, but thankfully they can't find any sign that it was stroke-related. However, they can't figure out what it was, so he's still in the stroke ICU being carefully watched. Hopefully he'll be coming out tomorrow, but we'll see. T&P are appreciated.
**Update** So it turns out it was indeed a little stroke (TIA) because of a hole he has in his heart (PFA for the medically versed among us). He'll have a minor surgery to fix it (they don't have to open his chest, just go up through a vein in his groin) in about a month or two and is on blood thinners until then and then for a while after the surgery. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I'm glad they've found something they can fix and now will just pray surgery goes smoothly.

Thanks, everyone. I'm holding up as well as can be expected, I suppose. I'm really trying to be patient with the girls since they're confused, too. And the fact that it's coming so soon after my dad's death is making everything a little more difficult. My palms got all sweaty when I visited DH this morning as I looked at the monitors and it made me think of the week I spent with my Dad in the ICU. And when we were taking DH to the hospital, DD1 said, "We're taking Papa to the hospital, then he's going to go where Grandpa is now." (i.e. heaven) DH and I looked at each other and I said very firmly, "No. No he is not." Sigh.

Oh my! How old is he? That's terrifying. I'm so sorry but I'm glad that they found the root of the problem and that it's treatable. Sending T&P that the surgery goes well.
He's 35. He said he felt really out of place in the stroke ICU
