I'm heading down to Jacksonville tomorrow. My dad is in the ICU on a ventilator. He was found unresponsive by my brother and taken to the ER yesterday. They put him in ICU this morning. He's not in good health with a medical condition and logically I know at any time he can end up in the hospital or die at home, but we don't FEEL logically. We feel emotionally, of course. Praying for a safe trip on the road and the strength to be helpful to my stepmom who is pretty stressed out to say the least. They've been married 20 years. I'm normally a very level headed person when it comes to intense situations, am able to make decisions and keep emotion out of it all until later. I'm the Get Shot Done person. I am now at that 'later' point after being on the phone half the day and am understanding the situation as a daughter and not someone who needs to get [BLEEP] done. I'm hoping this is just a thing and he can be stabilized and whatnot. 

I am tired.
