My dad called last night - he had to take Mom to the hospital. She was having chest pains and could not breathe. He was afraid that she was having another heart attack and he thought that he was losing her. They were stuck in a traffic jam, on the interstate, when this happened.

He got her to the hospital OK and they admitted her. All of the tests and lab work have come back OK, so far but they kept her overnight, for monitoring. Since I've had no calls, during the night, I expect that things are stable.

The hospital switchboard won't put me through to Mom's room, this early and my dad has to get the grandkids off to school. I'll call, just before I leave for work and check on her.

When my dad said that he was afraid that he'd lost Mom, he SOUNDED scared. I've never heard him sound scared, before. Considering Mom's general condition, the rest of us expect Pop to outlive Mom. I know that Mom wouldn't last long, without him.

I will keep your mom (and dad) in my thoughts and prayers, and hope she'll be back home soon.

I understand how your father feels, it is scary to think that you may lose someone.
I really hope that it wasn't serious for your mother, keeping you all in my thoughts.

Thanks, for the good thoughts. They discharged Mom, today, after a stress test and a barium swallow (ugh). We know for sure that it WASN'T another heart attack but we don't know what it actually was.

I stopped in, after work and Mom seemed to be OK. She's tired and has a bit of a cough but, that's normal for her. She's eating and that's a good sign.

Fingers crossed, for a good Christmas. My parents, the kids and and twins are coming to our house.
