Well I am back to work after another week off. My father-in-law is sick and had taken a turn for the worse. He has COPD, and only about 20% of his lungs working. The oxygen level in his blood wont stay up and the C02 is having problems getting out of his system. HE may get to go home today or tomorrow, but I think that is just so that he can be with family. They say that there is nothing really that they can do to make him better, just comfortable. We stayed down there all week and visited with him and helped his mom out with the grandkids that they have. Stress, tears, fear, and helplesness sucks. I need to get back to myself, but I have to continue to help husband out and make sure that he is ok. He is taking this really hard, and doesnt express hisself very well normally. He likes to hold it all in. But I was glad that I was able to be there for him.
