Exhaustion Setting In

I talked to my mom shortly this morning, as they were going straight to bed early. With so many doctors and nurses in and out of the room throughout the night, they are not getting the sleep their bodies need. Mom was so exhausted, it brought her to tears. Please pray that they get the rest that their bodies need.
A few things have happened throughout the chemo. Something felt weird in my dad's stomach yesterday. They did an x-ray and realized the tube through his nose to his stomach had dislodged. They had to pull the entire thing out and re-due it again. My dad is such a trooper; its very painful. They got it set in place. But then this morning he vomited, which is weird because the tube should be sucking that all out. They immediately put him through an x-ray to see if the tube dislodged again, but it hadn't. They realized the vomiting was just due to the chemo. He has also been swelling a lot. They have reduced his fluid intake, and might possibly have to give him what they have before to relieve all of the fluids. The only problem with that is dad can be hooked up to 9 different tubes at one time; so maneuvering to the restroom is quite hard and with having this problem he will have to go a lot. Please pray the swelling goes down with the fluids being decreased.
Please pray for my dad to keep up his strength. They have moved him to the other hospital building, as room allowed. Its much quieter and hoping they can get rested. Chemo will be over by 4 pm Sunday.
Thank you for all of your prayers throughout all of this. Still praying for a miracle.

Blessings to you all!
