Dad is in the hospital this morning. He woke up at 5:30 this morning and passed a lot of blood. He was weak over the weekend, but he was trying to make it until his 9:30 appointment with the oncologist today. Mom called the onocologist's office right after Dad passed blood, and they immediately sent him to the ER. Dad is in the ER right now and all of his blood, white blood cell, and blood pressure numbers are very, very low. They are giving him a blood and fluid transfusion right now, and they're waiting to see what to do once he's a little more stabilized. They want to give him a colonoscopy, but they aren't supposed to do them when a patient is on antibiotics. We'll wait and see what they decide to do with that. They might send him up to the ICU soon, but we just don't know a whole lot right now. He has met with a cardiologist and many other specialists. Lucky enough, a good friend of ours from church is an ER doctor (Jim Wilkie), and he's working today, so we're grateful that he's there.
We need lots of prayers right now, that's for sure.
