well here is what I know, he is in a room, finally moved him out of the ER at about 2. they are going to keep him over night for further abservations and further testing. they did a catscan, xrays, and he is getting an MRI as well. nothing has been really said about anything yet other than there is something wrong with him. he is doing ok in bed, he is in good spirits, laughing, joking, and giving everyone a hard time, normal for him. wife is still up there and will probably be there until visiting hours are done. so far, I am pretty cloudy about what happened and what is going on. I will find out more when the wife gets home.
thanks a ton for the prayers everyone, this is what makes this site a notch above the others, having an extended family that you can get added support from.
