Greetings from the great North West!! Man, I forgot how much I love this place we call Copalis Crossing!! I arrived at Dad's at about noon today and got to hug his frail little body. His body may be weak but his mind is strong. I still have a few more days to evaluate things so stay tuned. I will tell you this, today dad ate: two scrambled eggs for breakfast, half of a tomato (was a BLT but he took out the B) sandwich for lunch, a chocolate Boost for a snack and then a handful of mashed potatoes (he opted not to eat the corn on the cob or the yummy spare ribs) for dinner. He moves very slowly and does wince with pain when getting in and out of his chair. Like what Lance said, he has more than just brain cancer. More than likely prostate cancer that has spread through his chest. We got some good visiting in and Buck and Carly came to visit with the boys and Jabez and his family is parked outside in their trailer to spend the night and the day tomorrow.
Right now, my gut says that dad won't be with us for long but he will make it to October. That's how I'm feeling now. Please keep your prayers coming as I bring up some tough things with him like a will, sleeping downstairs, and other questions on my agenda. Also pray that I will have the right feelings about his time left on earth. Love you guys. Jen
