DUH!

Okay, okay. I know I already posted today, but I'm an idiot. I had saved the last post as a draft instead of posting it, so you get two posts today. Lucky you! Dad is doing amazingly well and today is the first day in a week he's felt a bit under the weather. His stomach is hurting, but he's not nauseous. He had blood work drawn yesterday, and we will have the results tomorrow. The critical one is the CA19-9, which was over 37,000 when we first found out he had cancer. We are praying it has at least dropped in half. I say at least, zero would be good. He has a complete physical tomorrow, so pray for his strength and a good report. It's too funny to see he and Mom with matching hair, white with dark roots. Still no pain and his weight is holding steady with zero weight loss. PRAISE GOD!! Please don't get weary in well doing. Your prayers are holding us together. The shock has worn off a bit and the road is looking long and rough without the encouragement of those who love Dad.

Here is another therapy update. The therapy du jour is the hug therapy so beloved to all who enjoy Dad's enormous, all-consuming hugs (hard not to be all consuming when he's 6'4" and 200+ lbs).



Okay, so the last one doesn't have Dad in it, but it's such a great hug picture, I just had to include it. Creative license, what can I say?

More tomorrow after the doctor visit.

Finally some new posts! I'm so happy for the update. Perfect timing because today is the fasting and praying day! I can't wait to participate in hug therapy on easter weekend! I love you grandpa :)
