… Piro just called from the hospital and said it would be a few more hours. This could be an all day situation, not a just couple hours. I have an elderly friend that just went to the ER on Thursday. She went in at 8 AM and didn’t get home until after 6 PM.
When I was younger, the legal age you could leave a child without adult supervision was 12. I could legally babysit at that age. It was decades ago, I imagine it may vary by locale now.
Could Luann be setting herself up for disappointment too? Is she hinting at being interested in Piro? For romance or fixing him? (I’ve been hoping she’d find a nice, intelligent, stable, hard working guy – possibly one not already saddled with taking care of a (big) family.)
And Piro may not have medical training at all, just has been in the Navy.
