Dad update


Quick update and picture of one of my children...


My Dad had a CT yesterday that may reveal whether the medicine is working. It really needs to be working as it is really the only option. Not sure when he will get the results. Keep us in your prayers.


Otherwise, Dad is doing well. Not getting hit by the side effects of the drug and not suffering symptoms from the two new tumors. That is something to be thankful for.

Nothing else new to report right now except for a complete lack of time to write or read blogs. Hopefully that will change soon.

Still think of you and your family often. Lift you up in prayer as well. Glad you are back, even if just for a brief note.

Of course you already know that we ARE praying for your Dad.
As a bonus, we have added prayers for family, friends, and Doctors at no extra charge.
You have once again been granted mercy for your lapse in blogging because you have posted a photo that was well worth the wait.

We'll continue to lift your Dad up in prayer.

Update on Dad

Quick post today. My Dad went to see his oncologist today after his latest CT scan. Because things looked good before, he has not had a scan in 3 months which seemed like a long time to be honest. Well, it is all good news. The doctor reports that there are no new spots or lesions and that the existing tumors are shrinking. My Dad will not have to increase his dosage of the drug he is taking which would bring with it new and unwelcomed side effects, so this was the best possible news. He will have another ct in 3 months. Over all, he continues to deal with some side effects from taking the drug, but they are relatively minor and in general, my Dad is doing quite well. Thank you to all who have been keeping him in your prayers. I know it has made a difference. God is good all the time.

Another Movie Review

I had big plans for another post today, but my actual job got in the way. Instead I posted a review for the movie I saw last night: "Thank You for Smoking." It's a good one and the full review is now posted on StumpTown Entertainment. Check it out. One other thought before I go. Tom Hanks' mullet in the Da Vinci Code got me thinking. If so many "rednecks" are wearing mullets these days, are they still rednecks? I mean doesn't that hair protect the back of the neck and keep it lilly white? I wonder what Descartes would say about this? Probably something like: "huh?"

Please Pray With Me.

Hello out there in blog land. I am sad to have to report today that we got some bad news regarding my father this week. If you read this blog or know my family, then you know that my Dad has been battling a rare form of aggressive cancer for several years. The first surgery removed a football sized tumor from his abdomen. In a matter of months the cancer returned, this time primarily in his liver. More surgery this past May killed the tumor in his liver. In early August of this year he had a CT which showed no new tumors or growth. The surgery was a success, he had finally recovered and then got a clean bill of health. It was a good month in that regard. Unfortunately, he began feeling discomfort in his liver a couple weeks ago. He went in for a CT this past Friday and then discovered this week what we had feared, but had not allowed ourselves to believe. The cancer had returned and was again in the form of tumors in the liver. In a month’s time one of the two new tumors was ...
