Exhaustion and Infection

There is a virus making its rounds. The Norwalk virus. I don't know much about it and I don't have time to google it. It has shut down the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon to visitors and has now made it's way to Battleford's Union Hospital. Dad has come into contact with it during his three and a half hour wait for blood test results that he never ended up getting at BUH. Dad's body is in no state to fight it off if he were to "catch it." He has has no symptoms so far and this encounter was yesterday. Please pray against this and the different infection they already suspect dad has. Mom is also exhausted to say the least.

Dad starts his stem cell harvest on Monday. Hopefully it will work out for him to stay in Saskatoon instead of mom driving him back and forth Mon, Tues, Wed. Please commit all these things to our Lord in prayer. Thanks.

    Hi Kevin,

    The Norwalk Virus is a 2 day stomach flu with action on both ends, if you know what I mean. Normally not a problem, but with your dad's compromised immune system, definitely an item of prayer.
