Default Huge changes for me, please read

As some of you already know, Rachel and I have been taking care of my ailing father for quite some time now. On March 20, dad took a fall in the parking lot at his doctors office and broke his hip in the process. He had surgery the next morning and the doctors were able to repair his hip. After a few more days in the hospital he was released to go to short term physical therapy. We picked him up and brought him home from therapy this evening.

While his recovery from the fall is progressing well, other aspects of his health are fading rather rapidly. As a result, dad is now living with Rachel and I full-time and we are caring for him on a 24/7 basis now.

I will still be able to keep the business going for the foreseeable future, but things may slow down a bit more than they are now, so please try to bear with me, I'll keep things moving as well as I can as I try to make the best of this situation. Your patience and understanding would be immensely appreciated.

As of now this situation is indefinite, I will post updates as appropriate.

Eric

Eric, sorry to hear of your Dads problems. I hope he gets better. It is great that he has you to come to his aid. Please let me know if I can help out. I have time available on weekends if I can run some errands or help out around the shop. Best wishes!

Sorry about your situation Eric. Way to go for taking care of your dad though. It's the only one of the 10 commandments that comes with a promise!

Prayers for your dad's good health Eric, you're doing things exactly right and enjoy this time of life you get to spend together.
Tough times here w/ my own father recently also we lost my wife's dad a few months back but these last few years have been very special and beautiful times spent together.
Thank God for fathers!
