CANCER TREATMENT WITH CONNOR

Today Dad is going to Stanford University to take our family friend who is 17 years old to have chemotherapy treatment, to try and shrink the tumor in this young man. Wow say your prayers. Dad has been like a second Dad to this young man who lost his Own father a few years ago. Dad; out of the kindness of his heart offered to take him to get treatment to give his mom a rest. That was so sweet Dad! The prognosis is difficult seeing that it is very rare and aggressive kind of cancer called "Thymus cancer." We pray for the Lord's healing hands on him. Attached is a picture of Conner at the beach with us. Dad, as all of you know has always been the Dad to give the shirt off his back for any of us as well as other people's children. He always has had a heart for kids! Thanks Dad for always looking out for all of us and now taking care of you as well! We love you for that Dad!

3 WEEKS POST-OP


On Monday Dad went to San Fransisco for a post op 3 week appointment. HE got good news form the doctor only 80 lbs to lose before April! Yes that's right, 1 lb per day and that is a grand total of 80 total lbs before April 15th or actually by the 15th! You go Dad, you can do it! It has been so fun to watch Dad shrink! Literally. I like many of you following this blog did not know Dad small. It will be fun to see Dad transform into another person. Dad has been an inspiration to us all. Dad has been finding all sorts of clothes in his closet that he has not seen for a long time. Dad has had some food likes for sure, soup broth, jello, and anything but that powder crap he was eating! I will keep you posted on fridat for a ONE MONTH PHOTO! SAME CLOTHES, SAME POSE! LOOK AT YOU NOW DAD! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

No News is Good News!

Well there has not been much to report because nothing new has been up. The old saying,
"NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS" It is very true. Dad did go to San Fransisco with his brothers and his Mom for Auntie Francis's 85 birthday. He had a good time and it was good for him to get out. I am happy that he was just going there for something fun and that the surgery is over. More to come........
