When it happens so fast

One of the things, I fear most is getting emergency calls from home telling me that someone in the family is sick. Unfortunately, it happened yesterday in the morning. My lil sis and brother called me to tell me that my dad was experiencing heavy headaches and was feeling rather nausea. We were all worried as the first thought that came was another sign of a stroke.
He was warded yesterday for further investigation and observation. They did the ECG test to check his heart beat movements and the doctor took some blood for test. Alhamdulillah he has been discharged today since the doctor was sure it was not a heart attack. Nonetheless, he still needs to come back for more check ups and examinations. They will hook him to a holter (something like the ECG equipement but in a smaller size which will be attached to him for 24 hours). By having the holter with him, his heart beat movements for the day will be monitored and recorded.
I am tired from yesterdays ordeal. Having to sleep at the hospital room is never interesting la huh..I am sure many of you would agree with this....a whole new room with nurses walking in and out.
My only hope is for my dad to always be healthy. InsyaAllah.
Psst, Lessons Learnt: Never ever take my parents for granted. And all siblings (no matter how different each and everyone is) should stick together to overcome any obstacles in life.

I pray that your father gets well soon.

Yeah never take your parents for granted. My father passed away when I was 17 unexpectedly. From then on I was close to my late mother. When she passed away, I know, I have been there for her most of the time.

Life is too short, so make the best of it... thanks for dropping by my blog.

Nour,

Agreed.

Life is short.

My heart also went dug-dag-dug-dag when family members called. So, I chose a very 'cool' and jazzy ringing tone for their numbers
