Life just seems to not be fair sometimes, I'm sure many will agree whole heartedly.
Dad & mom headed to the emergency room in Salem last night. Dad's hiccups became a little more frequent. As in, every hour on the hour for at least 15 minutes. As the day wore on, they became deeper, & brought on many unexpected & unwanted things (i.e. acid taste in his mouth). Mom called Dr. Ryan's nurse (chemo dr at OHSU). She finally told them to go to the ER in hopes of them getting some meds in dad through an IV. They ended up checking dad into the hospital late last night & are going to get him some fluids & keep him on the anti-hiccup drug for a few hours.
We'll keep you all updated as we hear more information. Please, especially now, no phone calls or visits. Thank you!

I'm feeling for you buddy. Dang hiccups! You know we love you and want you to be feeling well!
So sorry about the hiccups and all of the tough side-effects this time around, bud! I know that it wears on you to be like a "guinea pig" for so many tests and experiments to find the right combo, and in spite of your courage and tenacity, you are bound to have some times when it's hard to muster a lot of energy. When I read about what you deal with, I wonder how I could begin to attack this with the guts that you do!
I'd love to make you laugh about something, but I don't want to encourage more hiccups....what the heck, if you watched any of the Beavs' game against USC last night, you probably didn't jump at the chance to get back in on season tickets yet. John is gone...which is nice, but there's sure a lot of work to do!

Ron, for thirty-some years I have been carrying this secret and I think it's time to fess up. (Relax, it doesn't concern Kathy). I hope you are understanding. I have NEVER been to Costco! Hope we are still friends. Looking forward to hearing from you on your blog. Hope those hiccups are gone. Recover. Harold
Thanks for the update, Tory. Do keep us posted and we'll keep Ron in our prayers, Tina and family
I never thought hiccup could be a dirty word but it's now approaching that in my book - and I have a potty mouth! I am so sorry for your latest battles Ron, wish I could fix things for you - I do have some pounds I'd love to give you in the future if ya need help getting the weight back on :) Lovin' you and your family !
Connie
