We are going to Philadelphia in the morning. DH's Dad dying. They don't think he'll survive the night. They can't control the pneumonia he has, and he's non responsive. We'll stay with hubby's brother. I don't know how long we'll be gone. This is going to be hard on DH. He's trying to be Mr. Macho, but failing miserably. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
