Prayers for some relief for my dad

He was admitted to hospital after a visit to the emergency room last night. The "boss" has already taken care of boarding their dog and arranged people to take turns with my mom for about a week in advance. Has seen his surgeon and doesn't feel there is any time in his schedule for the surgery to be moved up. He's on a morphine drip and oxycodone. At least he's in the hospital and main thing right now is pain control which he has had in many many months. And he won't have to worry about mom, taking care of her is a FULL time job. But for some reason he has not accepted any of Maureen's help in getting a person in the house to do home care. Stubborn guy. But he's where he needs to be, in bed with others taking care of him. My mom will be fine. With alzheimers if you have a bad day, no matter. The bad day is out of your memory to even remember! That's a blessing.

I talked to both of them this a.m. And will do so later in the day.
