I Just Received an Emergency Phone Call

It's 12:45AM and I am on pins and needles. The paramedics were called because my Mom complained of chest pains. I am waiting for news from the ER doctors.

update: The nightime caregiver will go back to the hospital this morning on off-duty time. The weekend caregiver is preparing Dad's breakfast at home.

update 2: Mom remained in the hospital on a blood thinner and round-the-clock oyygen treatment for ten days. I was in constant contact with her cardiologist and all three shifts of hospital nurses. They moved her from critical care to a regular unit after 5 days.
