**updated AGAIN on pg 2** it was just one of those days yesterday...need more hugs

so yesterday i was all depressed about not getting the job (those of u who didnt see- i thought i was getting a long island teaching job but didnt get it) when i get a call from my mom

my dad was out today driving to the stores and all of a sudden he felt really weak and it was hard for him to breathe..thank god he managed to make it home and then he told my mom to call 911 and he passed out..so he was taken in an ambulance..hes been through a lot of tests but of course we still dont have results back yet...when i first got to the hospital hes speech was very slow and like confused (out of nowhere hes telling me that i need to get aol vista for him cause he cant find it anywhere- apparently thats what he was out looking for when he started to feel bad)..and he said his right arm was numb...but by the end of the night he was more like himself and said the numbness was going away

We think he had a mild stroke...we are still waiting for actual results..but either way he'll be ok...but it was def very scary..anyways just keep him in your thoughts please for a speedy recovery! Im supposed to leave tonight at 10pm for myrtle beach and even tho he still wants me to go same time as planned, i really want to make sure hes ok first (we are driving down anyway) so im not sure if im leaving tonight still or not

im going to be babysitting all day today so i might not respond to this thread for a bit..but i want to thank you in advance for your support..yesterday was just one of those days


oh and thanks colleen and Kerri for thinking about me and leaving me a message when u saw my away message!

your dad is in my thoughts & prayers

I know how hard it is to get a job on Long Island. Glad your dad is doing much better.

I'm so sorry hun. Bad things just seem to happen all at once. Your dad will be fine, and, you'll get a job on LI, even if it isn't meant to happen this September.

You guys are in my prayers.

i'm sorry to hear what happened, that must have been so scary!! but i'm glad he seems to be doing better...i'll keep him in my thoughts all day!

thanks girls so much! i really appreciate it! i mean im sure my dad will be fine and im almost hoping that this will be a wake up call for him to start having a more healthy lifestyle..its just scary cause shockingly my family has managed to be pretty healthy and its a very rare thing to hear one of my family members in the hospital

as for me- ill be fine after this all happened i stopped caring about the fact that i didnt get the job..bc i guess it just didnt seem important or anything anymore
