I just got off the phone with my mom, and I've decided to hell with the fear of a reprimand.
My dad just got out of his first leg of tests, and it appears that he has a hole in his heart which is causing air bubbles to get into his brain. I don't understand it any better than that, but the doctors say that it could be the cause of his recent memory problems. More testing to be done tomorrow.
He may or may not have to have surgery to repair it, but my mom said that surgery would be likely since the size of his hole is a 5+ on a scale of 1-5. Luckily, modern science has made advances allowing this to be done via a vein in his leg rather than butterflying his chest like a stuffed pork chop.
Either way, we are all a bit freaked out by the whole thing and would appreciate any prayers or other such good thoughts from anyone who might want to take the time to send them our way.

Oh my gosh! I didn't realize all this was going on! For sure he has our prayers, and let me know if I help you any other way, like babysitting or just hanging out. Keep me updated!
what?! How long has this been going on? Please give them our love and we will keep him (them) in our prayers!
