Oh joy

Here I sit at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Dad was flown here last night after Mum and I took him to the hospital because he looked so pale and was having problems walking. Turns out his hemoglobin count was really low. Dangerously low actually. He's been bleeding for sometime. Not sure exactly where the bleed is located. He's been getting blood transfused since the pre-dawn hours of this morning. He was convinced it was just a flu. 

He's looking better today which is a good sign. The bleeding has stopped for now. He's scheduled for a colonoscopy at 1:00 pm. They are going to try and get him in earlier. Hopefully that all comes back okay. 

I was watching Gilmore Girls the other night. The episode was the one where Richard Gilmore has a heart attack in the middle of a lecture. Now as I sit here in the CICU waiting area, I feel as if this is more of a scene from some movie than my actual life. Especially since I can't be in the room with my father. As Loreli said about looking at her father in the CICU in the episode, "He looks so small." My father definitely looks small.
