update on dad

okay, to say the least...we have been pretty busy here lately. i have been horrible at updating anything! i know many of you keep up with dads progress thru this blog and i havent been keeping up with it. so.....here it goes...

dads neighbors have been taking very good care of him...one neighbor got a motorized wheelchair donated to him and another neighbor is letting him borrow his golf cart so that he can get around their property. he is super excited to get out of the house and around.

he had a follow up with his surgeon this past week and everything is looking good. his incision sight is closing up nicely and is about 1/2 way closed up from where it began. he is still on the wound vac due to all the fuild still being produced. hopefully within the next 2 months he will be able to get on the vac...something i know he is looking forward too.

my uncle jr, dads oldest brother, has been coming up to help out as much as he can around the house. we are all very thankful for him. :)

dad has also been out driving, which is another great motivation for him. he doesnt do much, but the little he does makes him feel good that he is able to do things for himself.

he has been getting the travel trailer ready for our family river trip in 2 weeks. we are all excited to leave work behind and relax on the river. my sister and her kiddos will be there, my uncle jr & aunt margaret, mom & dad, amy and us 3 will be there. i am looking forward to spending time with them all.

so overall, dad is improving slowly each day and he seems to be in good spirits. things are moving forward with his lawsuit & hopefully justice will be served to those who overlooked the cancer for so long.
