Windford's update

Dad was running a fever Friday night, so he went to the ER. They ran tests and ct scan to make sure everything is clear. It may be a reaction to this new chemo drug he started or it could be an infection. After preliminary results, they decided to admit Dad to watch fever and start antibiotics Dr. Wagner, his primary oncologist is actually on service this weekend. The crazy thing is they admitted him to Mom's room last admission! We know they'll take good care of him.
When Dr. Wagner rounded this morning she said the CT scan last night looked different than the previous scan, so they want him to get an MRI. That may not happen until Monday if they can't get someone here on the weekend to do it. He's having a little bit of stomach pain, so they're giving him morphine for that and he's on antibiotics for possible infection.
Please pray for the fever to respond to these antibiotics and that he can get the MRI soon so that he might get out of the hospital quicker!!
