My mom just called me, my dad was having trouble breathing and collapsed. My 18-year-old brother had to call the ambulance, my mom was just getting off of work. Both of my brothers (the other one is 17) and my mom are at the hospital, but the doctors haven't told them anything yet. I'm waiting for my brother or mom to call me as soon as they know something.

Waiting is the worst, especially from 5 hours away the night before your senior design presentation for the term. Please keep my dad in your thoughts tonight, I'd really appreciate it.

Thoughts and prayers that all is well. Let us know how he's doing. I remember having to write midterms when my Dad was having triple heart bypass surgery. I understand how hard it can be when your heart is another place.
Hugs, Alicia.

Apparently my dad had the nasty respiratory flu this past weekend, and let himself get too dehydrated. To the point where his blood pressure is 86/62. And he normally has high blood pressure, so his bp meds probably didn't help this. So they're pumping him full of IVs and think that is all that's wrong with him, but will reevaluate once they get his blood pressure back up.

For now, I'm taking a deep breathe and attempting to unwind myself from being freaked out.
