It was only three days ago (5/24/2014) when dad was taken to the ER and it was only two days ago since he was diagnosed with cancer. For all the family it has seemed like an eternity, time has moved in slow motion. Things began to clear up a bit because of the support of all our family that came to visit dad. Their input and support has been a breath of fresh air and has brought a sense of comfort into the whole situation. As for dad's cancer things are the same. The doctors are sure of advanced stage 4 colon cancer that has metastasized. We are talking to family and friends who have been through this before and their support has been overwhelming. We are pushing to get dad into a cancer center that specializes in his kind of cancer. The hurtles are the Cancer Center accepting dad's insurance, which would be nothing less than a miracle, coming up with the money, or somehow getting dad Medicare faster than the two month minimum we were told about.
There is a more immediate problem that we are asking for prayer for. Dad's colon seems to be completely blocked to the point of not being able to pass gas or stool. This is life threatening situation and the surgeon wants to operate asap. The problem is that this surgery that would clear his colon, would also greatly increase the chances of the cancer spreading and spreading with a vengeance. Dad seems to trust the surgeon and we are anxiously waiting the results and we will post when we find out.
Please prayer for God's wisdom in every decision we make, faith, miracles and whatever else the Lord leads. Thank you again for your support!
