Phil,

I don't know for sure where all the fear is coming from, but the fact that 
Dad woke up one night with mucus that needed to be suctioned out, and his 
experience with that inadvertent vomiting that also needed suctioning, might 
give us a clue.  Also, as I understand it, the doctor considered sleep apnea 
as a part, or all of, the problem.  Maybe someday you or I can pray him 
through this?  Do you think that this sense of this fear being old as 
something The Lord is pointing out to you?
