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.

Ack! Is he diabetic? (ie is there a history of pancreas problems?) *sends get-well wishes*

He's not diabetic and has been very healthy indeed for many years. I think the only other time he was hospitalized (for an allergic reaction to penicillin) was in his twenties.
