Mom just called, with Dad.
Dad had just got off the phone with the medical service, and arranged a nurse to visit the house.
They had recommended he go to the emergency room for a check-up on what is going on, but he worries too much about Mom being left by herself overnight.
Dad has had pain fairly consistently all week, and in particular chest pain all last night and today. It kept him from sleeping almost all last night.
He suspects it is heart-burn, which he has had before. He has tried to take antacid, but could not keep it down.
He has been throwing up most foods and liquids. Nutrition shakes were working for about a week, but now the sweetness of them bother his stomach. He has been having dry heaves often as well.
So Dad is very discouraged from the lack of sleep and the lack of nourishment.
I am to take a trip to California all this week, so I will not be around to help them.
On the positive side, Dad's first round of chemo seemed to go well, without discomfort. Dad's nausea started before the chemo, so it is hard to blame it on that.
Please pray for wisdom for the family, nurses, and doctors.
