The Patient

My dad has never been very good at being sick. He wants a game plan and a solution, and he doesn't know how to rest. After having his spleen and 30% of his pancreas taken out on Tuesday, he had ditched the hospital gown and was up walking the halls the next day. If anyone has the will to beat Pancreatic Cancer, it's him.

The surgery went well, and Dad will be going home today. But there are still dark moments, and it's easy to lose track of hope. We are waiting on test results now to see if the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes.

We've been through so many emotions in the past week. It's scary, but we don't want to be scared. We want to glorify God through this. We're trying to remember that it doesn't really matter what we find out, because if God wants to heal my dad then He will, regardless of what statistics say. And we have to fight our hardest against whatever odds we face.

Please pray for strength and grace. Pray for faith. Pray for God to take away fear and give our family peace. Pray for healing. Pray that God would be glorified. And pray for my mom, who will be on the front lines with my dad every day. Please pray hard.

Thank you to everyone for your support! We really need you all.
