So, Greypa is in the hospital. He's having severe digestive complications as a result of scar tissue/restriction in his colon that is a complication from the radiation from the prostate cancer 5 years ago. He's been feeling progressively worse and yesterday he decided to go to the ER because he couldn't wait for the appointment with a surgeon.
He's on IV fluids and has a tube in to help relieve pressure. He's in St. John's Episcopal- mom's old hospital- in Far Rockaway. As of now, the plan is to keep him in until Friday then send him home. Next Wednesday, he has an appointment with a surgeon at North Shore Hospital on Long Island. That hospital is equipped to do the surgery he needs laproscopically, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for that.
Mom can't use her cell phone on the unit because of interference with the monitors etc. for the other patients. I'll update the blog as often as I know something useful. As always, all good thoughts, vibes, prayers and mojo is appreciated!

hang in there :)
I came here to find out what was going on with your Dad (saw a hint of it on Bob's facebook status). Sending healing wishes to your Dad and lots of love to the family.
Hugs,
