Daddy

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update on daddy's condition. The last time I posted we had great news about the PET scan. But now, we have no good news. Daddy was admitted to the hospital last Sunday, December 12, 2009. He was released on Wednesday, December 16, 2009. He is now resting at home and Hospice has been called in. We are so very sad and devastated. When receiving the news of the good PET scan report we thought we would have a little more time. Please Pray for my family. Daddy is our rock and we are all very sad. I will try to keep you as updated as possible. Sometimes it is just to hard to write about because I get upset all over again. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

I will lift my eyes to the hills, from where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Maker of Heaven and earth(Psalm 121:1-2)

Sure Could Use, A Little Good News Today

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on daddy. His PET scan showed no change in his cancer. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!! We were so happy to hear that the cancer has not spread anywhere else in his body.

That being said, the fluid is still gathering in his stomach. Dr.Hinton said it could be a side effect from one of his Chemo meds. He is going to take daddy off Chemo until after Christmas. This will allow him to see if the fluid goes away or if it continues to come back. We will reevaluate in January and go from there.

Thank you so much for all the prayers for my family and especially my daddy! I think we forget sometimes just how powerful prayer can be. We are so thankful for the good report we received today and we are looking forward to all watching the Ballgame together tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great weekend and ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!! Shana

Update On Daddy

Sorry I have not updated the blog in a few weeks. I have been really busy and when I think about the blog I am usually already in bed almost asleep. As most of you know daddy has been doing pretty good the last 5 months. We all had gotten use of Daddy's new routines with his chemo and and his good days and not so good days. We were at what I guess you could say a new "NORMAL" life with cancer.

On November 17, 2009 daddy had to have 3.5 liters of fluid drawn off his stomach. On November 25, 2009 he had to have another 3.5 liters drawn off and yet another 3.5 liters drawn off on November 30, 2009. To say the least, this is not a good sign of what the cancer is doing in his body. Daddy has a PET scan on December 2, 2009 and we will find the results out on Friday morning. Doctor Hinton seems to think the cancer is growing and that the chemo he is currently taking is not doing the job we need it to do. After Dr.Hinton sees the result from the PET scan we will regroup and get a new plan.

Please pray for my family. We are very sadden by this news. We want so bad for daddy to feel good again and get a good report. Daddy continues to stay positive which helps all of us. I love my daddy so much and all I want is for him is to smile and laugh again. Until Friday........
