        UPDATE:  Saturday afternoon February 21, 2026

Regarding my dad, He is home from the hospital and it appears the problem was a TIA ...
A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), or "mini-stroke," which is a temporary blockage of
blood flow to the brain causing stroke-like symptoms that typically last a few minutes
to an hour, rarely up to 24 hours. It is a medical emergency and a critical warning
sign for a potential, major stroke.  The doctor  put him on blood thinners and a few
other meds.... 
My mom seems to be talking to me now when I called her and she told me that she
appreciated my calling and expressing concerns.
 
I am going to wait another day and then try calling my dad.  I will also make plans
with my mom's friend that called me about my  dad being in the hospital... and we will
plan a time that with her phone that I can Facetime with my parents.... soon I hope.
I will try to keep my Blog thread updated.

Oh, thank goodness. A TIA isn't "good" by any means, but it's preferable to a lot of other possibilities. I'm glad he's home and that you're communicating with your mother about it. The blood thinners should help.

Thank you so much for the update, Danielle. You and your family remain in my thoughts.

Love,
Pema
