Home from the hospital; still really tired

Well - the extreme fatigue finally landed Dad in the hospital for a few days while they tried to figure out what was the cause.  Dad got home this morning, but still is very tired.  He had critically low cortisol levels (which can contribute to the fatigue), and is doing a bit better but still a bit foggy and exhausted.  He's on a higher dose of steroids now, but will have to come back off them very slowly at some point in the near future.

I did talk with him via Skype (I'm in New Zealand at the moment) and he sounded pretty good.  He's not sleeping AS much, but we're still not to the bottom of what's going on.

The Huff's are coming out this weekend to do the winterizing of the yard/pond.  Dad just isn't up for much activity at all.  Hopefully that all changes soon!
