Last night my dad got carbon monoxide poisoning. He was at his friend's workshop and my mom kept trying to call him but he didn't answer. She knew he was alone so she got worried and went to check on him. He was unconscious but breathing and she doesn't know how long he was passed out. He was sent to a hospital a couple of hours away because the local hospital doesn't have the equipment needed to treat him. My mom said the dr. called last night and said that he had regained consciousness and he was in good shape for what he's been through. My mom and my brother were going to visit him today and as of now, they don't know how he's been affected (CO poisoning can cause brain damage).
I'm trying to be optimistic and we're all very thankful that my mom found him, but I'm sad because my mom and I are close and I wish I could be there for her (and for him). Hopefully he'll be fine and I know he'll appreciate all your good thoughts and prayers.
Praying for you! That must be an awful phone call to receive! How far away do you live from them? Can you go visit?
Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate your kind words, thoughts, and prayers.
They're in Colorado and I'm in Wisconsin. I can probably go visit but I'm going to wait a bit and see how everything is going before I make any plans. My mom should know more today and then I can decide if I should go. Normally I'd already be making plans but I just visited last month. I'm really hoping for the best!
OMG! I'm so sorry, I don't even know what to say. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I know it will be extremely difficult, but please do try and remain optimistic; you don't need the added stress in your condition. Will also be praying for your general health.
(Hugs to you).
