MDA ER.

Dad went in to the ER tonight in Houston at MDA. They immediately started running tests on him, and started him on IV antibiotics. He has continued to run a low grade temp, even though he has been on antibiotics for the past 10 days. Ray (for those new to the blog, Ray is my husband, an MD, and helps me understand some of the medicine talk) anyway, he told me that the 2 iv antibiotics they started Dad on are two of the big guns we have in medicine. They are the strongest we have. Hopefully this will take care of an infection somewhere that they have not been able to pinpoint. At the time we talked to Mom, they were still awaiting more tests, but Ray said more than likely they would start him on lasiks as well. He also has developed a bump in his inner thigh about the size of a golf ball. They are going to investigate this as well. Possible blood clot, lymph node??
Right now our two biggest concerns are the possible infection somewhere in his body, and the fluid build up in the chest, abdomen, and lower extremities.
I spoke with Mom at 10:30 and she sounded tired, but said she was glad they were there and had gone on in. She said Dad went willingly.
Please continue to pray. I will update on Friday after I speak with Mom.
In this fight with all of you, JJ and the Janszen Kids
