dad update.

hey friends. thank you so much for all your prayers and questions about my dad. his cancer seems to be slowing down for right now. the treatment he has received in mexico has complete eliminated 3 out of 4 tumors on his liver. made the tumor outside of his lungs beneath his sternum smaller. caused his blood cell count to be better than it has been in a long time.

with all that said, he just called me telling me that he is going to be admitted into the hospital. in december they cut into his paracardium and placed a window so that his heart would work at the appropriate capacity, draining the fluid that was around his heart. the window has stopped doing its job. he is back to having a hard time breathing. he is having a lot of pain again. continue to pray. he is fighting as hard as he can! his endurance amazes me beyond what i can even understand!!!

Thanks for the update Summer... I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't heard anything in a while. Praise God for all that healing! I will pray for continued success! :)

Good news about the tumors lessening, but not good about the window. I'm sorry. We will pray for all of you. I hope you get to have lots of hugs and great conversations when you see him.
