Last night 2007-04-24 - 1:51 p.m. Last night was scary. My mom called at 8 because my dad was unresponsive. So, I flew up the interstate to the hospital, where they had taken my dad. The entire time, I thought he was dead. He is not. They admitted him early this morning (hospitals are really still hoppin' at 3 a.m., for real) and then, we went home to sleep. I got up and came back down to the 'Nati and am now preparing to give a presentation at 3:30. Tomorrow, I have my big final end-of-semester project due - and, it's only about 40% done. My mom and brother just called and they are taking my dad back to Ho$pice - to die. They will still treat his infections (what took him to the ER last night - blood infections, etc.) and give him fluids, but they're done trying to keep him alive. He's now just gonna be comfortable until he goes. I am so torn about what to do - stay here (like my mom said) and get my stuff done (yeah, right) and turn it all in tomorrow, or take the extension my lovely professor has granted me and just go back home tonight. What to do, what to do???? I am so torn. I thought I had lost out on time to tell my dad stuff last night. Now, I've got some more time, but I'm "stuck" here. Unless, I just forget it all and go back home. What the hell should I DO???? |
