Today, as we all know, is Hump Day, the middle of the week.  From here on in, it’s a beautiful downhill ride to the weekend.  Today has definitely been characterized by humps for me.

This morning was going along pretty well until right around 11:00 a.m. or so, when I got a phone call from my aunt.  My aunt never calls me during business hours because we are both at work, and she never calls me at work.  That right there told me something was fishy in Herringtown.  She was on her way to Iowa City and was calling to tell me that my grandpa had a stroke this morning.  His wife took him to the local hospital, which moved him to one about half an hour away.  That was when he started worsening.  Then they sent him to Iowa City.  He has massive bleeding on the brain and hasn’t been conscious since leaving Waterloo this morning for Iowa City.  The chances that he will make it are very slim.

Today has not been a red-letter day.

Excuse me, but I’m going to go cry some more now.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  Thanks.
