We got some of the pathology reports from Dad's surgery over a week ago. It shows that the cancer is now in his pleuris. (That's the space between his lungs and chest wall where all the fluid has been building up.)
Last night, he got a new chest tube for the other side so more fluid could be drained from that area. We're hoping that will help him breathe better - on his own.
Speaking of breathing on his own, he wasn't able to do that for very long yesterday. There were many different factors - like the machine settings weren't the same and the staff was different and also that he had more fluid in his chest. So, I don't know whether it's bad that he didn't breathe on his own for very long or good considering the differing factors.
I'm going to choose indifference. I'm going to have faith that we'll get some good news soon.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Blessings to you!

Dad was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer on June 4th, 2009. Sadly, he lost the fight on August 28th, 2009. Less than three months and he's gone. Miss you, Daddy!

Tena,
It was 4:40 am when you wrote us.
That concerns me. Please get your rest; your child, husband and parents need you (as you know).
Take care and give everyone our love.
Joy
