Uneventful is a word that some may read and think "boring." But uneventful is a word that has been welcomed around here. Not much new to report the past week or so. Well until this weekend...
Dad has been feeling extra run down. He didn't make it to my daughter's birthday party this weekend and this morning when I got to his house he was quiet. He is a quiet man by nature, but I know the difference between his normal quiet and his something isn't right quiet.
A few minutes of silence and he said to me "I called ______ (name of Dr.) this morning, to let them know how bad I feel." For Dad to admit how bad he feels, he must feel really bad. :(
A few hours later, and him and my mom are on their way to being admitted to the cardiovascular center about an hour and a half away. I'm unsure of what this means, or what will happen. I'm praying it opens up some doors.
All prayers and thoughts are appreciated. My family could use them.

Faith
I can't imagine what it's like for my dad to be so vulnerable in front of us girls, his daughters and wife.
Yesterday I picked my dad up from the hospital after he was discharged we went back to the house. We sat in silence for awhile and I watched my dad sit quietly at the table trying to process everything.
I finally broke the silence and said "What are you thinking?"
It's hard for my dad to share things with us sometimes. He has been our protector for years and he knows we worry about him.
Dad shared with me a scripture verse that keeps coming to him (Psalm 46:10) and we talked about how he is in the best hands possible - God's. We hugged and we cried.
This morning as I reflect on that moment with my dad, I am thankful for our faith.
Yes we trust his team of Dr.'s but ultimately our faith is in God.

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." Isaiah 41:10
There is a lot of anxious feelings going around as we wait to find out what happens next. There is still so much unknown.
