Sluff was admitted into the hospital at about 11:45pm Central time. They are trying to stabilize his blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Sluff got a headache at about 10:00am which gradually worsened and escalated to the point where Sluff couldn't lessen the pain by resting his head on a pillow. After I got out of work we went to the ER where we spent about four hours waiting to hear from the VERY slow doctors. Once we were informed of the results of whatever tests they did, they admitted him and he is there now. I don't have a phone number yet, but, as soon as I get more info, I will be back to post it in this thread.

Thank You,
Patton

I can't think of a clean enough expletive to insert here to express my reaction to reading that Sluff is in the hospital.

Sluff, I hope today is a better day and that you move quickly past whatever it was that caused that headache.
