Prayer Request

All -  I just found out that my father is in the hospital.  He called my uncle last night (they live near by).  He had stood up from the couch and had passed out and fainted.  He came to without serious harm, but still said that he did not feel right.  He was taken to the hospital and is there currently.  My mother is spending the night with my aunt and uncle.  We are supposed to get word today about further/additional steps.

Will gladly take all prayers and good thoughts.  His name is similar to mine, so if you referred to him as TB The Elder you would not be wrong.

Thank you.

Your Obedient Servant, Toirdhealbheach Beucail

Update:  He is back home, diagnosed with low salt level.  That said (and for which I am very grateful), I would continue to ask for your prayers/good thoughts.  We are heading out on Monday to see them for Christmas and will have more information then.

    Prayers from here for your Dad to recover from what is going on. Sounds scary but the hospital is where the right place with the right people to be to fix this.

    1. Thanks Sarge. Talked with him today - he was a little out of it (go figure) but that is to be expected. We will be out next week and I can be out two weeks later (or earlier if needed), so we will figure out the next steps.

      Thank you Reverend. There are very much appreciated and I think we are at an inflection point that means they are all the more needed.

Comments are welcome (and necessary, for good conversation). If you could take the time to be kind and not practice profanity, it would be appreciated. Thanks for posting!
