Some of you know that this time last week, my dad found out he had a tangerine sized tumor embedded in his spine. Things happened quickly when he was diagnosed. He immediately began radiation treatments and oral steroids. At this point he has had 7 radiation treatments and yesterday, had a scan done to determine if this awful disease was anywhere else in his body. If it is, he tells me he really doesn't want to know. His concern is comfort!
I'm heading to Wilmington on Saturday to spend a few days with him and take him to some of his treatments. We had already planned a trip down the week after Christmas with the whole family and we won't change that.
I'm still somewhat overwhelmed at what has transpired over the past week, but I know that none of this caught God by surprise. None of us know how this will all work out over the days ahead, but I do know my dad is strong and my dad is my hero. God is in the miracle business and my prayer is that his treatments will be effective and there will come that day that we can say, "thank you Lord for all that you have done."
