Oh David, I am so sorry to hear this. Let Jacqueline know her dad, and all of you are in our prayers.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I can't even process it. I'm lost. All I know is that he has all the classic symptoms of it but that all his labs were good on admission and they put him on the vent as a prophylactic measure to get out ahead of any possible progression. That's all I know. I'm going to call as soon as I can put my head together.
I literally can't figure out what to do next. I should call the hospital, my dad's girlfriend (or maybe not? She's been up since 3 this morning and when one of my brothers talked with her she was staggering; maybe she just needs to rest), my mom, my dad's pulmonologist. It's not a long list but I literally cannot focus and pick one and start.
I will, in a minute; I'm just all in pieces right now.

Maybe it's an emphysema exacerbation instead?

It could be. It's good that the ventilator is a prophylactic measure, not a rescue measure. JZ, I have all my digits crossed for your dad.

What is even happening?
Maybe it's an emphysema exacerbation instead?
Just going off my own dad's emphysema, I think it would be difficult to tell the difference.
JZ, you, your dad, and your whole family is in my prayers. Much love to you.

Oh, JZ, much love to you all—especially Papou.

Best wishes to JZ and family for a swift recovery.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, JZ.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, no.
