My dad's in the hospital

[pegkerr]

I just talked to my mom; my dad went to the hospital last night with pancreatitis. He'll be in the hospital for a few days; right now he is tube-fed until they get his system cleaned out and calmed down. He was on morphine but I think from what Mom said he's feeling better--I don't know if she meant that the morphine is working, or he has stopped it entirely. They don't know the cause, but he is getting good care. We'll see what happens when they get back test results tomorrow.

Ugh! I'm sorry to hear this -- it's a very unpleasant thing to have! (My wife developed it abruptly a few years ago as a surgery complication.) I hope all goes well and that whatever the problem was, it has already fixed itself, and all they have to do is flush him out and send him home!
