Both of my parents went to the ER this week- my Mom because she was really dizzy and lightheaded. and my Dad because he fell.
Fun times.
I’m grateful that they were both released rather quickly. I’m grateful that they both got referrals for next step Doctors- My Dad an orthopedist for his broken shoulder and my Mom to a cardiologist because of an irregular heart beat… I’m grateful that I will be able to see them for Easter.
I am also grateful to those who reached out to me to make sure that I was safe after the Brooklyn subway shooting earlier this week. Thank you!!

Its hard as our parent’s age. Glad they didn’t have to stay in the hospital.
I pray that this next week can be an easier week without scary things like the subway shooting! I am so glad you are safe, stay that way! How far are you from Brooklyn?
Great quotes, especially the Schweitzer one.

I’m glad your parents survived the week and that you will be able to see them on Easter. Just living eventually becomes dangerous! John and I are approaching that category.
