When I talked to my dad on Thursday, I realized that he was sicker than I originally thought. He was diagnosed with pneumonia, but it wasn't responding to treatment like they hoped it would. His oxygen levels were extremely low and his need for oxygen was very high. After finding that out and knowing that my mom would be alone all weekend, I called Brett to see if he and Karen would be able to visit Syracuse on Saturday and Sunday. Thankfully, they were able to rearrange their plans and travel north for a few days.
While in Syracuse, Brett and Karen were not only able to keep my mom company by playing cards and watching Super Market Sweep, but also run to the store for her, take her to see my dad, bring him a change of clothes, take out the garbage and clean the upstairs bathroom. I appreciated it more than they will ever know. Hopefully, the visit raised my parents' spirits too.
