So last Thursday my dad woke us up at 3 to take him to the hospital. He had shortness of breath and his left arm was heavy, he said he took some medication in case he was going to have a seizure but it didn't get better so he decided to get us to take him. We rushed through the night over 80 miles and made it to the VA and they eventually emitted him. They said he had a low heart rate and they were going to watch his heart. It was really scary and I actually was afraid that he was going to die. But he reassured us about it and told us that he was going to be okay. When I got home I decided to stay since I wanted to calm down for a little while. It got really lonely, I thought he was still home at times well, I hoped he was but he wasn't home. Mom kept me up to date with what was going on. They said he had some clogged arteries and that they were going to empty them. They gave him a lot of other tests too just in case he didn't have cancer or something but his blood tests were normal and they told him that he had to stop smoking. On Friday they gave him stints in his arteries to clear them out. His heart rate was starting to go back to normal since before it was at 40. Saturday he came back home, we took all his cigarettes and gave them to Misty, my biological mother, and she took them home with her. I have my Incense to burn so I took his lighters so I can use them on the incense. He can't drive or use his let hand currently. I'm just glad he's home and okay in honesty. I'd rather have him come home and be checked on now than this happening a few years later and he ends up in there again because of his smoking. So I have been doing a little better currently, I'm just wrapping up this whole assignment as a whole in the next few days. I hope everyone's had a good summer.
