Update on Dad,
The update on Dad is not what I had hoped for, but it is what it is, and he has confessed Jesus as his Saviour, so much relief is felt due to that assurance because no matter what happens now, I will know without doubt that Dad is okay. Dad is basically in liver failure, another lesion has appeared on his lung, his blood is too thin, his right lung is not working, really nothing is working right, his little body is just tired,chemo has paid its toll on him. Right now my prayer is for his comfort, I hope he still has the opportunity and time to enjoy some quality of life, but we could be looking at just months so they say. God is in control though so what His will for Dad is will be what happens, it's the only thing which at this point I can count on. I have spent the past three days at the hospital and Mom has accompanied me because it makes me so nervous, and I like to have a second set of ears in the room when the doctors and nurses tell us things, as I have to relay it to other family members. My Uncle Trippe spends mornings there and comes back up at night, I feel so bad for Trippe, he lost his Dad (my grandfather) to cancer, his oldest brother (my Uncle Danny) to cancer and liver failure, and now Dad's life is threatned, plus their Mom (my Mamaw) is in really bad shape with congestive heart failure and is also on oxygen, she has lived longer than any of us thought she would, so you can imagine how scared and sad he must feel. Please pray for Dad and the family. Your prayers are so appreciated. Thanks to everyone for their concern and kind words of support.

Kelley, I'm sorry to hear the latest news on your dad. I pray that you will find comfort and rest in our heavenly Father during this time. Also that your dad will experience physical comfort now.
Do you think he'll have to stay in the hospital or will they let him have a home nurse?
Jamie, Thank you so much for your prayers. At this point I am not sure what they are going to do. I know he will be in the hospital for at least a few more days. I am hoping that he will get some sort of home health care. He lives alone and there is no way he can take care of himself. Love you, kelley
