Good things must come to an end

So do you remember that in my last post we were all excited because things were going well? Things are still remaining positive but yesterday my dad ended up in the hospital with a 102 fever. He had been running a fever all weekend but not to high. On Sunday he ran a 101 fever so my mom took him to urgent care. They couldn't find anything so they sent him home. Monday morning they had an appointment with their regular physician and he said that if he continues running a fever don't call anyone take him to the emergency room and he will be admitted. So after his nap yesterday he woke up with another fever. 
So last night I went to join my mom and dad in the ER they took x-ray of his belly and found nothing. My mom noticed a red ring around his belly button where he gives himself his insulin. That may be the source of the infection. They gave him 2 different antibiotics and is scheduled to go and have an ultrasound today. Nurse said probably no Chemo tomorrow (which would be he second round). 
In short I hope to know more tonight and I hope that he gets to go home.

  1. Don't let the ups and downs get to you too much. It's all part of the process. I am praying for more ups than downs.
