Asking for your thoughts and prayers....

Little update here.

So after they put my fathers exam off until next Friday, he started having severe pain again, even with the meds they gave him. He had to go to the emergency room last night again, and his doctor said he could come in this Friday...for a consultation, and that he still didn't want to do the exam yet.

:bnghd:

So over the last two weeks he has been to the emergency room 4 times and his doctor twice, and they still don't seem to have any sense of urgency. It's frustrating because I feel there is something seriously wrong with him and he isn't getting any closer to figuring out what it is, even after 2 weeks of pain. I spoke with my mother this morning and she said they were taking him to a different hospital today to see if they could get something done now. I'll have to wait until later today to talk to them again.

OH, and as if things weren't going swimmingly enough, it appears the post office lost my mortgage payment for this month. I'll have to cancel that check and resend another one, which costs me $49 from my bank. I also got a call from my wife this morning who informed me that her mother just found she probably has ovarian cancer.

I really appreciate that.

I spoke with my dad a minute ago and he said now they think it could be something with his Pancreas, depending on how his colonoscopy goes. His proceedure has been moved up to Monday, so we'll get a better idea of what's going on then.

I also talked to my wife, who said they did a biopsy on her mom and the results would be back in 5 days.

I really appreciate you guys.

Thank you guys so much for all your kinds words and encouragement. Here's a little updated:

I called my mother this morning after my dad's meeting with his doctor. They went ahead and did his proceedure while he was there, and feel confident the problem is not in his colon. They are going to be looking at the pancreas now to see if that's the problem. For right now though we are breathing a sigh of relief that it isn't colon cancer.

My wife also called this afternoon to let me know that the post office found our lost letter containing our mortgage payment, so we can avoid the bank fees.

I know your thoughts and prayers have helped, and I can't thank you guys enough. Here is to hoping things continue to improve.

Thanks for the updates, Fingers and toes crossed!

Hugs!

My thoughts and hopes are with you.

I hope that all goes well.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts...

I know its never easy to lose anyone in your family..
Ive had my share of loss.. And its never easy..

You have many people here for you stay strong! And Ive never been the holy roller, bible thumping type.. But I do think its good to send out postive thoughts to those we known across the world!!!

Much can be felt threw postive thoughts!
Yet its when you get out and do something about it that works the most.
Thus if you need anything for real.. Please send me a u2.. Id be happy to help with anything you might need, that goes beyond just a simple postive thought..
