The World Went Upside Down Today

My father is gravely ill in Austin. He's in ICU with aspiration pneumonia. He's on a vent. The (cowboy) ER doc didn't give him good chances, but we elected to intubate him and buy some time. We are making plans to go there ASAP.
And all I really want right now is a good friend to come make me a cup of coffee and sit at my table with me.
This photo is from the last time I visited him. The last time I talked to him is when I told him I'd been promoted to Managing Editor. Unless you count me telling the ER doc to tell my dad I love him.

Your dad is so handsome...
I will be praying for you all.
Praying here as well. We're not far from there, so if you need some coffee, I'll bring it.

Sending lots of good thoughts
thank goddess for good friends... someone came over and someone called. Headed out today, may not be keeping up with Holidailies, but you know...
Luck and strength to you and your father. I'm too far away to do anything but send positive energy; but I can do that.
