Dad is in hospital

I found out Sunday night that my dad is in a Bloomington, IL hospital. He has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a neurological disorder. According to several websites, there is no direct cause for this malady and the syndrome can afflict anyone at any age. The syndrome is NOT hereditary or contagious. Check out this web site:

I am still planning to go to Lawrence to spend Thanksgiving with my sister's family; however, I am also preparing for a spur-of-the-moment trip to Illinois.
