80.

today marks year 80 for jack...and he's spending the first day of year 80 in the hospital.  he was admitted on sunday.  after a stress test and a heart cath, they found an area that had been blocked again after his quadruple bypass almost 2 years ago.  they put in a stint yesterday and should be released today.  physically he's fine.  mentally, however...the meds really mess his mind up.  last night he was insisting that he be given his clothes so he could leave because he had to preach today.  today is thursday.  he already has a type of dimentia(which i found out on sunday..along with him not wanting to be revived if it came to that), which messes with his speech and remembering words that he wants to say.  a bad deal for a minister.  i'm really hoping that he'll be out of the hospital before saturday--he has his 80th birthday party at his church. 
thanks to all of my friends that have been following my updates on facebook for your comments and prayers.

happy 80th, jackeeee!!
