more stress

my father-in-law has had a very rough go of things these last two weeks.  last weekend he had surgery (on thanksgiving) for bleeding on the brain.  last night he was readmitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke.  luckily, my brother-in-law, aaron - a medic - saw the whole thing happen and got him to the hospital right away.  while at the hospital, he had a second stroke.  the first stroke was most likely a TIA (mini-stroke), and aaron is suspecting the second one was too, judging by what Papa was doing last night following both.  he's in the hospital being observed.  

jeff has been working 12 hour days at the tree lots with no break at all.  hopefully, he'll be able to take a good portion of today off.  he sounds like "an old woman lounge singer" right now (those are his words, not mine.  i'm guessing this is the last year for trees.
