Sandwich Generation - update

Ok, here's the latest. Dad is home with pneumonia and pleurisy, but not productively coughing like he needs to in order to clear his chest. While it's painful to cough with the pleurisy, it is a necessity in order to clear the pneumonia. It's a process he must endure.

As for Mom, when she was in the hospital, one of the tests revealed she had a heart murmur (which had not been identified before now). She saw her doctor yesterday and it was confirmed that she has a leaky aortic valve. She is schedule for a TEE (Trans esophageal echocardiogram) Monday at 10:30am. She has asked me to come down, which I will do.

Please keep both of my parents in your prayers as well as my travels. Rick and the kids could also use prayers as they adjust while I'm away. If all goes well, this will only be a day trip, but I am packing a few days' clothing just in case.
