Things are not going well for my father.  Now he has pneumonia, he has anemia so bad that he required 2 units of blood yesterday and today found out that he is not responding to the treatment for the pneumonia and it is getting worse.  His doctor wants to send him to Cheyenne which is 50 miles south of Laramie to a lung specialist to have his lungs looked at through a special scope to find out why he is not responding and what treatment may work for him.   If things do not turn around by Friday, I am going to fly back there.  Things are becoming very critical and I may lose my dad.  His body functions are shutting down and even with all the medical technology available, he just might not be able to fight back from this.  I was able to talk to him on the phone today.  He sounded better than I thought he would.  It was such a relief to hear his voice but at the same time it was so painful to be so far away. 

On top of this, my mom is home sick today.  She has a stomach bug.  She started throwing up around 10:30 last night and when I talked to her around noon today, she was just starting to keep things down.  She thinks she ate something bad and does not have a virus. 

My sister is on the way.  It is snowing like crazy in Denver.  I hope her plane lands on time and safely around 6:30 tonight.  She will spend the night with my cousin and see my Aunt Helen this evening.  Tomorrow if the roads are okay, my cousin will drive her to Laramie.  If the roads aren't that great, Carol will take a Greyhound bus which will get her into town around 2:30 p.m.

Prayers for my dad, mom and safe travels for my sister are much appreciated!

Thanks!
