Update: as of 8pm CST

Dad is stable, and hasn't had any more episodes like this morning. They still don't know what caused it, but they have ruled out his Leukemia as the cause. The CT scan came back clean, so it wasn't a blood clot or brain bleed. His heart is beating irregularly, so he is still being monitored by the ICU for that.

We were blessed to have the Doctor and nurse that we had caring for him today, as they really looked after my Dad well. My cousin is the nurse for his area tonight, so my Dad will be well cared for again. I know that she will also contact me if there are any problems instead of calling my Mom who can't drive anyways.

I just got home from dropping off Mom at their acreage, and DH has now gone to pick up our girls from his parent's place at the lake. It's going to be a long night, but better that we go through it with the girls by our sides (plus we are expecting nightmares tonight after what happened). Mom is handling it quite well, and has not needed to take a nitro pill yet. I will be keeping in close contact with her, and pick her up again as soon as we are allowed back to check on Dad, if not earlier.

Thank you all for keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers.
We all appreciate it more than you could possibly realize.

I'll post another update as soon as more test results come in.
