I had about an inch of rain over night. This morning trees and bushes were coated with ice but the roads were just wet.
I left for Winston around 10 to pick up my new glasses. As I was leaving there and driving to Home Depot Frances called. Al was having a medical issue and was on the way to the ER.
Since I knew there was nothing I could do until they got him in the ER and settled I ran my errand then met my Firm friends for lunch. As soon as we finished eating I left for the hospital.
He was doing better by the time arrived having treated his symptoms. They ruled out Covid, RSV, and pneumonia. Around 4 the doctor came back in with some blood work results but, we knew, they would be admitting him to see what was going on.
I convinced Frances to go home and I left for home. He is stable and may be in the ER for who knows how long until they can get a bed and organized additional tests.
