Maybe I Should Go Home

Dad had another of what my brother is calling "a stroke-like episode" at the hospital in Madison today. This one has left some paralysis on the right side. I'm trying to figure out how to plan a trip out there at a time that would be useful for Mom. I think my sister is going to go this weekend and spend a week or so. Maybe I should arrange to go as she's leaving, so as to have one of us there for as long as possible.

Hi Kate...sorry to hear your Dad had another "episode". If you are looking for input, I think you definitely need to plan a trip to see your Dad. Having met your Mom, you seem to have come from pretty strong stock. But, no matter how strong she seems, I think she would definitely appreciate the company (and help). Just my opinion.

I agree that your parents need you right now, and planning to arrive as your sister leaves would be a great idea.

I was dealing with similar issues in November so I know how difficult this can be.

Best wishes to you and yours.

Yes, I'm definitely going to. I e-mailed my sister today, thinking we should coordinate our plans. Hopefully, she'll get back to me soon.
