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...

Sending good healing vibes to your father.
Noah is so cute. I want to send you a jar of buttons.
I'm so sorry, Amy. You and your dad will be in my thoughts.
I'm tearing up for you. Yes, even with the report of the button barterer in your house. Because I figure you cannot cry right now as you must see out the windshield in your hightailing (in clean underwear) to PA. I hope that by the time you get there, you will find that your trip was for naught, and that your dad is okay.
I'm sorry, Amy - I said a prayer for your family, and I hope your dad pulls through.
Your dad will be in my prayers.
So so sorry. Sending love and hope your way. I hope your dad is alright.
And Noah, good deal on the buttons!

Oh my goodness! I'm keeping you all in my prayers, drive safely. I also have a gigantic jar of spare buttons (some from clothes I don't even remember), if you need some let me know!
Oh, prayers for your family, Amy.
And the buttons? Who knew? Awesome. Let me know if you need more, because I have about 9,000 (or less) that could use a new home.
Oh Geez Amy! I hope your dad will be okay. I know all of us are sending our best thoughts, prayers and good vibes his way. DRIVE CAREFULLY!!!
Safe travels Amy and positive healing thoughts for your dad.

I'm saying a prayer for your father. Please be careful as you travel and take care of yourself as well.
PS - buttons for no diapers? that's a really good one! I must have a million spare buttons.
Oh crap, sweetie, I am thinking/hoping praying for the both of you. Drive carefully.
And if he pulls through, email me and I'll see if I can talk my mother-in-law into donating Phillies tickets to you. We have four great seats in a handicapped section for Sunday home games. We can't get to all of them this year anyway--I think this is a good cause.
Sending all my warm fuzzy thoughts your way. May you all be as well as possible!
Gah gah gah. Not "if he pulls through," because OF COURSE he's going to pull through. If he pulls through *and feels good enough to hit up a Phils game*.
Oh, Amy--I am so sorry to hear that. Sending good thoughts of strength & healing for your dad, and comfort for you & your family.
Sending all of my thoughts and prayers to your family.
