1026 comfort

I had an OT appointment today, so my father drove me down to Long Beach Memorial. But while we were unloading in the parking garage, he became light-headed and collapsed. Fortunately, I was able to catch him before he hit the pavement. I called out for help and LBMMC security responded.

The paramedics arrived to check on my father, and Jenny, my OT, came out to check on me. My father was rushed to the ER, and I cancelled my OT appointment. Jenny wheeled me to the ER waiting room, as I called my mother to come over; she was visiting my brother, John, at Country Villa. We were able to sit with my father as he underwent a battery of tests and scans.

My sister, Judi, and my brother-in-law, Mike, came as soon as they could. After awhile, Mike drove me home while my sister and mother waited in the ER for the test results. Apparently, everything was okay because after giving him some fluids and walking him arund the ER, he was discharged to go home and rest.
