On the news front

For those of you paying attention to this blog for news you might be wondering about Christy's dad. In case someone reading this is not receiving regular communication I wanted to bring you up to speed.

Christy's dad is back home today from the hospital. He was discharged just 6 days after surgery and then they took him back a day and a half later. He has been having a hard time recovering from surgery. His G.I. track is somewhat paralyzed. He is now on day 16 or 17 and he is still not really able to eat. They have set him up with a backup solution for nutrition while his G.I. track gets back online.

He is however fighting a rather advanced case of cancer which is slowing down the process. The latest idea of what exactly he has is stage IV colon cancer. However this has been questioned recently, wondering if it isn't something on his liver. Either way, it is a terminal case and the goal right now is to see if he can improve well enough to move on to chemo-therapy.

Pray for his family, Christy's mom is really struggling with this and is finding it hard to be strong. I have been kind of wife-less during this process because Christy is spending a lot of time with them offering whatever care and support she can. She has actually taken a leave of absence from work to be able to offer care wherever she can.

So thats the latest, I will try to keep up on this blog for those that might not be in the regular communication loop.
