I just got a call from my mom and it wasn't a detailed description of the 27 little blue outfits she bought over the weekend, oh no, it was about my dad, who fell outside their house last night and is now in the ICU with a brain bleed and broken occipital bones and they think it's his heart but they don't know yet and anyway, I'm putting Noah in the car and driving up to PA just as soon as I can find my keys and maybe some clean underwear. PA is fancy like that, you know.
In other news, Noah is willing to keep his pants dry in exchange for spare buttons from my sewing kit. If that doesn't cheer you up a tiny bit even after the words "ICU" and "brain bleed" then I suggest you just start hitting the hooch right now.


oh Amy...I'm sorry. I hope your dad pulls through quickly.
Your dad and your family will be in my prayers. Take care!
I'm so sorry. Best getting-well wishes to you and your family!
Oh no! I'll be thinking of your Dad and hoping for a speedy recovery. Drive safely!
Oh, I am so sorry. I'm sending best wishes and really if you want to stop in Philadelphia on your way back down I will buy you more cheese steak than one person could possibly eat...since beer is out.
Oh gosh, Amy! I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll be thinking of you and your family.
The buttons thing is adorable, by the way!
Holy crap. Sending you lots of good thoughts...
