My trip to see Dad in the hospital in Fl. went well, and I am glad that I was able to spend lots of time with him in and out of the hospital. All in all, his spirits are great, and he is ready to get home and start more treatment. The cancer has created a tumor outside of his colon, and contricted itself around it. So, the Dr. put a colostomy above it, because he was not able to remove the tumor. The cancer has also moved to the lining of the intestine, the spleen and a few small spots on the liver. His body is stong and spirits are high, so he is ready to keep fighting! Hopefully by next week a plan of attack will be made on how to fight this thing, and then he can start treatment. Him and Ellie are on their way home today, due to friends that were in Fl. who offered to drive Dad home in their RV. I did spend a little time on the beach in the mornings, and some with Dad when he was released from the hospital on Wednesday. Ellie also took Jenny and I to some great meals in the evenings. I managed to get a few pics while I was there, St. Augustine is such a beautiful place. On the beach we did see a huge horseshoe crab, starfish and lots of other critters. Downtown is steeped in history, and is a beautiful place to walk, eat and shop. I can see why they love to go there! I will keep updates on his progress, please keep him in your prayers.
