As I mentioned earlier this week, my dad was in the ER on Saturday for heat exhaustion and dehydration. Well, he's still not better. He went to the DR on Monday and they said it might be tick fever. He was started on treatment, but then he showed NO signs of improvement. They have done LOADS of blood work and they've found nothing out. His fever wont go down, his extremely bad headache wont go away, he can't hold down food, and he aches and hurts. So, they admitted him to the hospital on Tuesday and started running more tests and doing more scans and x-rays.
Well, as I was sitting with him in the hospital room last night, the doctor came in and said that his inflammation numbers were up and they were doing another scan tomorrow morning (this morning) of his upper body. This is the first test that has came back with some indication that something was wrong. They know he has an infection somewhere, but they can't find it. They've sent his blood work to the Mayo Clinic - in another state. The doctors think that maybe his body is attacking itself.
Long story short, my dad is very sick. We have no idea what is wrong with him and he's been sick since Thursday. Please pray for him and pray that they find what is wrong with him soon so that he'll no longer be sick and in pain. Please pray that God heals him and he's able to go home - good as new!
Also, on a very small side note, while you're praying, could you please pray that I don't totally lose it.... my dad is very important to me and I hate to see him sick. It breaks my heart. Then add to that the stress of the fact that our house will have a for sale sign going up today, the realtor is taking pictures and it isn't the least bit clean or in order right now, because we were at the hospital last night, and then the fact that I realized that school starts next Thursday for me and I'll be taking 2 classes.... I feel slightly overwhelmed right now. I know God will take care of it all - I truly have faith that everything will work out just fine, but please pray that I don't lose it as I'm processing all of this. But, most importantly, pray for my dad please.
