The latest on Dad

First let me say thank you to all of you who have been praying for us. There is nothing we desire more from you than that!

We have been informed by the doctors that the only medical option for my dad's condition at this time is surgery. He has chosen not to go that route and we completely agree with this decision.

At this time, our goal is to make sure he is comfortable, doesn't overexert himself, and manage the fluid retention problems caused by congestive heart failure. We are going to look into getting him a scooter so he doesn't have to walk too much and yet can still get out and about as much as he wants. The fluid retention we are addressing through prescription direutics and occasional trips to the ER (or possibly a visiting nurse) to help with fluid elimination.

Please keep praying for us all!
