So very thankful...

Exactly two weeks ago, dad had taken a turn for the worst. We believed he had days, maybe even just a few more hours to live.  Special moments were created from that as we were able to shower dad with our love, our prayers and words of affirmation of what an incredible dad, husband and friend that he has been to each of us.  I'm so very thankful for those moments, and very thankful that dad was able to come out of that.  "Wow" were the words I used, but "Praise God" are more accurate.  :)

Since dad drove himself to work last Thursday, he's continued to go to work each day since then!  While he may not be back to full days, he's going and still making some good deals for the company!  His energy level isn't fully back to normal and he is still fairly weak at times.  Most days/nights have been fair to good ones.  He's not giving up and he continues to fight.  

Today, dad went back to his infusion therapy for his bone cancer and he'll continue to get that treatment until he decides he doesn't want it anymore.  And next Thursday morning (Sept. 22 at 6:45 AM) is his brain radiation.  They plan to zap the tumor that is hemorrhaging in his brain.  We are still taking everything day by day.

We are so very thankful for the days that we've had and continue to have.  We are so very thankful for the many prayer warriors out there that are lifting our family and dad up.  We are so very thankful that we have a heavenly Father who loves us and walks us through these situations.
