The weekend started out pretty good for me. My new baby nephew came home and he's so adorable. I went to my Everett Community Collgeg graduation ceremony on Friday. Did the whole "Yippee" I graduated thing and celebrated with my family and friend afterward. All was starting out great!Saturday afternoon, I played in the soccer invitational tournament. Vancouver B.C. and Portland players came here and it was a blast. It was so much fun. I even went to the party after the tournament. Hung out with some friends, met some new people and flirted a bit.Here comes the bad part....Get a call from my sister telling me to head to the Providence ER right away because my father is there. I drove like the devil on wheels from Seattle to Everett in 15 minutes. Glad I didn't get pulled over. After a few hours at the ER, my dad gets admitted to the Critical Care Unit (CCU). The sodium levels in his body are very low and that's not a good thing. The brain needs sodium to function correctly. I'm not going into the whole physiology of it. Basically, my dad is in altered mental status. He goes from being coherent to incoherent every few minutes. His speech is slurred and he twitches all the time and at high risk for seizure. To make matters worst, the doctor thinks he might have pneumonia, but the X-rays still say negative. Oh, I forgot to mention since he's been sick, his heart is slightly enlarged. Now I'm sitting in the waiting room outside the CCU because I can't spend the night in my father's room. I wish I could study for class but I can't seem to focus. Well it's late, I might as well get some shut eye. Later.
