So last year my dad had bunches of tests done to figure out what was wrong with him. They gave results everything from a staph infection to something wrong with his muscles (immune system was attacking them.) then the diagnosis came that his potassium levels were non existent. Which means he drank too much caffeine( 1 12 cup pot of coffee on top on caffeinated soda) and he didn't replace the potassium. So he cut back, no more caffeinated soda, and 4 cups of coffee. He is now taking potassium pills and eating bananas and oranges. Apparently they were wrong (I felt like they were the whole time) it's a scary process watching your parents whom you thought were indestructible be sick all the time. It sucks. So his enzyme levels are waaaaaay higher than last May. This just reminds how not indestructible my parents are. A person I have known since kindergarten lost her mom to stomach cancer. What if the doctors can't figure out what's wrong with him? Is he going to die? One thing I have gong for me is that my dad is a believer in Christ. If he dies he'll be in heaven and I will see him again. I didn't use to have this assurance. It's nice to have it now. Keep my dad in your prayers, and my friends family too. This is hard time, and I know I have to trust in God.
