Sheer heart attack

I just got off the phone with my mom. She told me that my father suffered a heart attack this morning while cooking breakfast. He was in denial for most of the day and didn't go to the hospital until the afternoon even though he was complaining of tightness in his chest, numbness in his left arm, and was burping a lot (apparently this is another sign of heart attack). He was admitted to Virtua Voorhees tonight, but will likely be transferred to another hospital tomorrow for some stress testing. He's doing OK, but they wanted to monitor him over night just in case.

More as it develops...

Thanks for the comments. I made sure my dad heard about everyone asking how he was doing, and I know it cheered him up! He's looking forward to getting discharged today (hopefully).

Fairmount Park River Rescue

Went to Fairmount park around 4pm today with the family for a bike ride around the park. As soon as we got there and parked, Dillon said to me, "There's a car in the water!" A minute later, he said, "Someone is inside!" It was the craziest thing I've ever witnessed. Thank God someone was there with a tire iron and a few guys swam out and busted the back window open!  One of the guys said he was her husband (he said this as he walked right past me).  We all felt completely helpless. I wanted to jump in and do something but I had nothing to break glass with. One witness said she saw the car accelerate into the river...  We just don't know if it was intentional. Crazy Easter!

Valentine's Day 2019

The Hampton/Doyle families got together for the 11th annual Valentine's Day Dinner.  This year it was our turn to host the meal, so we kept it fairly simple with some spaghetti & meatballs, and some cresent rolls.  The kids played video games and hung out in the basement while we chatted at the dining room table and got caught up.  Always a fun evening! Here is a collage of some photos we snapped... <<-Mark-->>
