Back to the ER

Mom & Dad are on the way to the ER at Boone Hospital.

He has been violently ill for the past 3 days. He was sick 3 times in 4 hours last night. Dad is unable to keep any food or water in his system and is exhausted. There are several issues causing this reaction. His sinus drainage causes an upset stomach. The medication to deal with his colon's lack of water processing is locking up his bowel, thus everything that goes into his stomach has nowhere to go... but back out.

When I spoke to him on the phone a few moments ago, he said he "was sick of being sick." His speech was very weak and slow. Please pray for the correct meds to be administered and for strength for Mom during this time. She has not slept for several days trying to take care of Dad.

We'll post more as soon as we know more.

  1. Just to let you know I am praying for both Brother and Sister McGarvey. We can only pray God's will for his timing is not our timing. We serve an Amazing God and I know personally how hard it can be on the family of the one who is diagnosed with cancer. Our Prayers are with you.
