More worries....

 My Dad had us all worried because he got worse when he got home from our visit last week.  Even though he had been on antibiotics for over a week,  his temp was fluctuating between 101 to 103, he had muscle aches and extreme fatigue.  His voice sounded so weak on the phone.  They did a CT scan and blood tests and could find nothing conclusive so they admitted him to the hospital yesterday.  I talked to him today and he sounded much better (like his old self).   He says they think it may have been a virus he picked on a flight back from the Bay Area.   They are going to keep him in the hospital until his temp is normal.    My brother and I were talking yesterday and he said...."Man it would be nice to have a bit of a break from family health crisis!!!"  I agreed whole heatedly.   This has been a tough year for our family.   I am  hoping for a few years of uninterrupted health and happiness for the Ballards, the Watkins and the Stonichs.
