Sunday

Still on feeding tube. But no fever, so that's something.

Dad still hasn't passed the "swallow test" so they're making him keep the tube. He's pretty discouraged by this, and by the situation in general. Still in ICU.

Hopefully mom and Jen will be able to meet with the neuro-oncologist tomorrow and get some further information about his situation and have some questions answered. At this point, the pathology report is still officially "preliminary." There's been some confusion with everyone they've talked to about what's really going on here. Hopefully we should have some issues sorted out by this time tomorrow or at the very latest Tuesday.

To be honest, I think the gravity of the situation is beginning to settle in with everyone and the stress is now undeniable. Please pray for peace for my family. Dad seems very withdrawn, so now would be a wonderful time to pass along any personal notes from his loved ones that may happen to land in my email inbox (darcyrd@hotmail.com). They will be promptly forwarded to mom for printing and reading to dad- STAT! :)
