Let us all mention Lisas Father in the Misheberach prayer {which I have included below}:

May He Who has blessed our forefathers, Avraham, Yitzchak, Ya'akov, Moshe, Aharon, Dovid and Shlomo, bless and heal Eliahu Ben Malka on behalf of the merit of our good deeds and the giving of tzedakah. In the merit of this, may the Almighty be filled with mercy upon him to strengthen him, to heal him, to vitalize him. May He speedily send him a complete recovery from Heaven to all his limbs and organs. May he be healed along with all others of the Jewish people requiring healing. May his recovery be immediate and complete.

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

Thank you Muman.

I just got back from the hospital.  He passed the swallowing test.  He can now swallow some water without coughing.  So they ordered him some mashed food for dinner.  I think he's having some beef.

I'm glad he's able to eat even if it's just soft food right now.

Well I know he ate last night. 

They're doing a few more tests on him today, then hopefully they'll discharge him.  From what I understand, he'll now be on a regimen of aspirin, and cholesterol lowering medication, even though his cholesterol is around 150, which is excellent.

I will keep your father in my prayers.
I will pray for his fully recovery and for him to be home soon.

It is very scary. 

When those men in the firehouse uniforms came to the house with that stretcher, that really did it for me.  When I got to the hospital on Saturday, I couldn't stop crying.  I had to go to the chapel/meditation room.  I felt bad about letting my family see me cry, since they were acting so calm.  The same thing happened yesterday before I got to see him, although I felt better knowing that he could swallow. 

Even now, it's still upsetting because it's a reminder of my father's mortality.

The ambulance had to come to my parents home four times last year.
It was one of the most difficult years of my life. 
I'm a medical professional and I fell apart. Each and every time.
Don't be so hard on yourself, Lisa.  You are close to your parents.  I can tell that.  It is hard to see anything bad happen to someone you love. 
I'm am praying for your Dad to be home soon and for you to have strength.
I'm not so far away if you need to talk.

Lisa,     my thoughts and prayers are with your Father.    I hope that each day brings him closer to a complete recovery and that you and your family are holding up as well as possible.
