hospitalization for monitoring

this afternoon, dad was taken to the ER because his fever was persistent from last night and the docs all warn that fever could be the sign of infection. so with all of the happenings of yesterday, mom decided to take him in.

he had blood tests, CT scan, chest x-ray and a couple other tests to see what was causing fever. he has also contracted a cold with deep chest cough. because of these things, he will be kept in the hospital for a few days so that his fever/symptoms can be monitored, and they can be certain that there is no sign of pneumonia.

please continue to pray for him; i will make it a priority to keep posting re: his condition.

What a time you all are having!! How do people survive without the Lord on their side? Will be praying hard for all of you, a year of losses, but hopefully gains in faith, and closeness with the Lord! Easy to say, sometimes hard to believe, tho!?!? Love to you, Rachel, Heidi and all, Sharon
