Fever Free for Two Days, Goodbye Hospital, Hello Bed!

Dad's going home: they're packing and getting discharge instructions now.  Pneuminua is clearing, and white cell count getting back to normal levels.  He'll soon be hibernating to catch up on his sleep for the next few days :)

Prayers, Needed, Please!

Dad was supposed to start his last chemo treatment today; but he was admitted to the hospital on Monday for a little pneumonia.   He's had a cough for almost a month.  First they said he had a cold, but the cold caused post-nasal drip and a cough that's been hanging on for weeks.  A chest x-ray revealed pneumonia in the top and bottom lobes of the lungs.  The doctor acts as if this is a minor bump in the road.   A low-grade fever started Saturday, but by Monday morning, it reached the 101.4 limit.   Like a tide, the fever seems to go up and down throughout the day.  I was able to chat with him for a little while tonight, but we had to hang up when he started coughing and feeling bad. Tylenol is due, and the nursing staff is slowly making rounds.   An infectious disease doc arrives tomorrow to assess what's going on.  Hope he's able to make things better.  Prayers are always welcome and appreciate.
