Well I had a forboding feeling heading down to Dopeaween so I didn’t go. When I work up today there was a note from my mother that she too kmy dad to the hospital. He is having breathing difficulcities. That was 11:30 this morning. As of 5:30 they finally admitted him and gave him a bed. They don’t know what is wrong as of yet. As I know more I’ll post. ---

**MannyL** , I’m sorry you couldn’t make it to Dope-A-Ween, but it’s a good thing you decided not to go. I know if it had been me, I would want to be there for my dad instead of at a party. I hope they get him all fixed up good as new real soon. I’ll say a prayer for you and your dad. ---

We noticed he was breating heavily for a few weeks but if we asked him are you alright he would say yes. Thanks for the kind words and thoughts everyone
