Dad was taken to the hospital on Saturday, July 4th. His Parkinson symptoms had rapidly deteriorated to the point that he needed to be observed and evaluated. This was a very difficult day for our family, but something we had to walk through.

So far, they have been adjusting his medicines to see if that could be causing some of his symptoms or if it is the natural progression of Parkinson. Today the doctor hopes to be able to evaluate his condition in order to know what the next step is. He will need to go to a skilled nursing facility for now.

It goes without saying that we covet your prayers. God has indeed shown himself to be a God who answers prayers; giving us comfort, strength and peace on a moment by moment basis. Our prayer as a family is that God in His mercy and grace would touch and restore Dad, but if that is not His sovereign plan, we pray He will take him home to be with Him.

Thank you so much for your love and prayers!!!
