After some worries with my dad's symptoms this last week, the doctors asked my dad to come down to COH. They gave him some potassium through his port and also his normal medications. It has been hard for him to keep his medicines in, because taking pills causes him to vomit. So it was good that they gave him his medicines through his port to make sure they stayed down. The potassium will help him to have energy a bit again. He's been different this week, with not wanting to walk or talk much. His energy levels have been so low with so much energy spent vomiting and losing so many nutrients. Please pray that the vomiting will cease and he will be able to keep everything in. He actually had a desire for a certain food tonight on the way home from the hospital..... Del Taco crunchy taco! Ahhhhh..... that sounds so good! Wish there was a Del Taco down the village road here in Sri Lanka! Eat one for me dad! I love you Dad!
Pray for mom and dad as they try to figure out how to keep his body temp regualated. His chest is burning hot (this is from the chemo) and the rest of his body is cold. Mom's trying to construct some kind of blanket/sheet system for him for sleeping at night.
Thanks for your continual support and prayers!
