My Dad #2

Again and again, I cannot say thank you enough to all of you who have been praying for my dad. He is doing well. About a week and a half ago he had surgery to remove his arm because of cancer and praise God it looks like it has been removed. If you can believe it they sent him home on Sunday only four days after removing his arm and he seems to have not missed a beat. He came on Sunday and on Tuesday started working on selling insurance again. This past week was marked with several blessing and triumphs. My dad has figured out how to button his pants and his shirt and put on his socks and shoes all with just one hand and a few gadgets. He also had more energy this past week than he has had in a long time. For me it has been a testament to how much energy the body uses to fight cancer.

Most remarkable though has been his spirit. No one is ever excited about losing an limb, which would include my dad. However, he has done well. He has been happy and joyful this past week. He looked for ways to adapt and adjust and sees this as a great adventure. And in all of this he has not lost his sense of humor.

Thank you again for praying for my dad. I ask that you continue praying for him and his healing. Pray for his continued adjustment.
