Thanks Aunt Cookie! You know you, Uncle Bill and your whole family are in our thoughts and prayers as well. Tell Uncle Bill to take it easy and we're thinking of him.
Dad really wants to make it home to see him.I did talk to Mom a few minutes ago and Dad has been admitted to the hospital a few hours ago. He's on an IV which is good since he hasn't been able to keep any food/liquids down for the past few days. They're running some more tests and doing lots of bloodwork.
I just feel better knowing he's in the hospital where he can get any needed help right away.We'll let you know when we hear more news.Thanks a ton.
I know my Mom wanted to post a note out here to tell everyone thank you for all of the cards, calls and emails. It helps a lot knowing that people are praying for him.
Love you guys!
Theresa
Thanks Michele for allowing me to use your blog to keep everyone updated on Dad! He's still in the hospital. He was having internal bleeding and they did an endoscopy this morning and found a large duodendum ulcer. They think that's what was causing the bleeding. He had a few blood tranfusions prior to the endoscopy because apparently he lost a lot of blood. Not exactly sure what they'll be doing to "fix" it...Mom thinks they'll be keeping him in the hospital at least thru the weekend. He's still very lethargic and weak so hopefully he'll be able to keep food/liquids down soon so he can regain his strength. His oncologist said he'd keep a close eye on him and wants to get him back on the Nexavar as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy Turtle and Mindy will be there tonight to help Mom. She could use the company and needs help discussing everything with all of these doctors...very exhausting for her, I know. But she's hanging in there and doing a wonderful job!
Love,
Theresa
