Tues 9/16 @ 12:20 pm : Update.
This is a shout-out to all of my Praying Friends on Facebook. Please pray for my Dad. He was admitted to the hospital last night.
He has been experiencing a lot of constant pain throughout his body for several weeks. Yesterday, he had severe pains and nausea in his stomach area. He was not able to eat anything. After a doctor's visit determined that his white blood cell count was extremely high, he was sent to the emergency room, where they hooked him to monitor, took blood for tests, and eventually admitted him for the night.
I hope to visit him later today. Please pray for his comfort and safety, and for his improved health and healing. Thank You!
The day started out like any other Monday. Today is always the day when I teach guitar classes to older adults (50 & over) at the local Senior center. We have three classes from 1:30 to 5pm. After classes were over, I went to my parents' house. Everything seemed like normal, even when I saw my sister's car parked on the curb, and her talking to me, even though I couldn't hear what she was saying yet. When I got out of the car, she said something like, "We're taking Dad to the emergency room". Everything changed in that brief moment.
It was determined that I would stay home, and the three of them would head to the hospital. Later that night, I discovered that my Dad had been admitted to the hospital, and was undergoing tests. He had been complaining that afternoon of severe abdominal pains. In performing several chest X-rays, they located a couple of suspicious spots on his lungs.
So began the first night of a journey... one that we didn't plan or ask to travel... but one which we will go on together... pray for us, and keep updated and informed here about all of the experiences and developments along the way.
PLEASE PRAY
FOR MY DAD
