My dad – day 3

Philippians 4:13 I am able to do all things through the one who strengthens me.

It’s funny how this verse has been floating around in my head for days now and today it just happens to be the verse of the day on YouVersion.  I thought it would be a very fitting verse to show today.  We all get caught up in our daily lives and routine and life is always throwing us a curve ball.  After everything that I have been through with cancer, I feel like I will combat it all and live a long healthy life as long as I take care of myself.  What do you do when one of your parents develops cancer and you know what it’s like.  Its the one thing I never wanted my parents to go through, but it’s amazing how when it happens, youre suddenly strong enough to handle it all.  I think God is amazing and I can’t imagine how people get through their lives without God.

I think my dad has the best family and friends in the world.  So many people all over the world are praying for him.  Not just in America, people in Mexico, El Salvador……. we have so much to be thankful for.  My dad is the nicest, sweetest man I have ever met.  I felt so bad when he was in the ER Friday night and the nurse were poking him over and over and not able to pull his blood.  He just laid there without a peep but you knew just how miserable he was. 

My dad is bleeding internally but we don’t know yet if it’s the tumor breaking apart, if he has a hole in his intestines, or if it’s just the chemo zapping his blood count. So far he’s received 6 pints of blood, his color is looking really good.  The doctors think he will be removed from ICU today so that’s great news. If I know more later today, I’ll come back and post updates.
