Hospital & a New Gadget

My dad is in the hospital. He came home from work on Monday complaining that he had a "stabbing" pain in his stomach that was coming and going all day. They ended up going to the 24-hour treatment center at 11:30 that night. From there they were sent to the ER at the hospital. He had a cat scan, an ultrasound, the works. They thought it was his gallbladder. Now they think it's a bowel obstruction. He was admitted and stayed overnight, with the expectation of going home today. But as of this morning, they still don't know exactly what it is, but need to figure it out soon because if it's a big obstruction, they need to get in to operate. I'm a bit worried about all this. Especially if he needs to undergo surgery.

Anyway .... in the midst of all that, Mike and I went out and bought a laptop. He's really going to need a computer while he's out traveling to different areas/stores. Plus, if he's working from home, he can do that and I can still use the home PC as well, or vice verse. It was neat sitting on the couch last night surfing ebay. :)

Well, I better run. The Girl has her well baby visit at 10:15 this morning, and I have to swing by and pick up my mom on the way so she can keep an eye on The Boy. Then I'm going to take her over to the hospital so she can spend time with my dad. I'll head over there later tonight when Mike is home to stay with the kids, so that I can pick her up, and visit dad a bit myself.
