Last night just when we arrived at the hospital to visit Dad, Mom was rushing out to get the nurse because Dad was in a cold sweat and his arm was swollen.
They ordered a CT scan and I called Mike to come give him a blessing. Mike arrived soon thereafter and was able to help Dad feel a lot better after the blessing.
The CT scan showed that he has a pulmonary embolism, meaning that blood clot has moved to his lungs.
They did an EKG and are monitoring his heart.
Prayers are needed!
Thanks and I'll update when I know more.
You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. We wish we could be there with you. We are so blessed and grateful that we have been able to spend time with and to get to know such an amazing and wonderful family. We wish you a speedy recovery and can't wait to hang out with you in the Canadian Rockies again!
