the_huffsterSo last night me and my family were having a fun time just joking around with my brother in front of one his friends, like we always do. My dad went with my brother as he dropped his friend off and filled up his car cos my dad was paying for the gas and showing my brother how to fill up (this was at 5:30, remember this).
He came home and told my mom (without me or my brother knowing) that at the gas station he got dizzy, lightheaded, shaky and a pain in his chest had started. The night goes on and then at 9-ish my mom had asked him if he was feeling better and he said no, but he wasn't feeling worse. So my mom asks me to burrow my laptop and starts looking up early signs for heart attacks.
My dad answers her questions about chest pain and other things, but when she ask if his arm is feeling weird he kinda hesitated before saying that it was all tingly and had been for 10 minutes. This didn't fly with my mom (or me and my brother) and when my dad said it was nothing, my mom pointed out just how serious this was since her uncle (who we were all close with) died of a heart attack that no one saw coming when he was 45. And my dad is only 39, so this was a huge deal with her, me and my brother.
So they go to the E.R. and tell me and my brother to stay at home until we get a call saying if we needed to come up. This was at 9. At 1:55 in the morning, my mom comes home and tells us that they're keeping my dad over night to keep running all sorts of tests on him, and that we can come up in the morning when she says we can.
As of right now, me and my brother are still waiting. The latest news we got was that they're gonna run one more test in 30 minutes and then we'll be able to know if we need to go to the hospital or not. This sucks cos apparently there are other things going on, but my mom won't tell us.
I'm freaking out cos if something happens to my dad...I dunno, but it won't be good. So I didn't get any sleep last night cos I was wigging out over the fact that my dad's in the hospital for something that may be a heart attack or maybe something else that's bad.
