I told Dad that I'm glad he *did* tell me. After all, I'm directly related, I have arrhythmia myself, and the knowledge of any family history of cardiovascular disease could assist me as I get older... as it would Allison. Dan's parents often didn't tell their kids (Dan's the youngest at 47) that something was up, and I've talked to a few more friends who's parents also kept family "health secrets" so as not to worry their kids. I don't get that logic - having an illness doesn't mean adult children are going to automatically put an aging parent in a nursing home.
So if you would, keep ol' George in your prayers and that salients facts don't escape the doctor's sight.

My greatest fear is that there is no PMS and this is my personality.
